Top Dodecanese Cooking Classes

Great time in the backcountry with Addie - with a sprinkle of botany to boot. Very well curated activities, and the meal at the end - chef's kiss!

Another fab day with Trekking Hellas in June 2025 in little village packed with big flavours and so many different products growing! Made part of our lunch & then came back to the taverna for feast at the end. Met a lovely bunch of people

An absolute highlight of our vacation! The cooking class with the Greek moms was not only incredibly delicious, but also a wonderful experience full of warmth, laughter, and genuine Greek hospitality.A huge thank you goes to Kiki, she is by far the best tour guide we have ever met! With her warm manner, her perfect English, and of course Greek, she manages to bring everyone along and make every tour something special. You notice immediately how much she loves her (adopted) home and passes this feeling on to her guests. . The Greek moms showed us with a lot of patience and love how traditional dishes are prepared. It felt like visiting a Greek family—authentic, warm, and unforgettable.We have known Kiki for two years now and look forward to seeing her again every time. She is not only a fantastic tour guide, but simply a wonderful person.Anyone who is on Kos should definitely not miss this cooking class, a clear recommendation from the heart! ❤️🇬🇷 .

We had a wonderful day with friendly people. Kiki, our tour guide, made it very easy for us to engage in conversation. Quaint atmosphere and warm Greek ladies. Chopping and preparing the dishes was enjoyable. Time flew by. The men in the group were also busy at it.

We had a wonderful, detailed expert wine tasting with Kosmas - booked directly at the GR10 hotel (after we were thoroughly informed about the options). We enjoyed Greece's wine landscapes and received great information, topped off with a small tasting of orange wine!

An amazing experience especially for beginners like us! Our guide knew lots about the history and background of the wine we were tasting and how to taste it looking for all the tones and flavours even giving us tips on how to tell if the wine is young or aged! Staff were all so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and architecture of the place made this experience feel cozy yet posh. Couldn’t recommend this place enough even for those who don’t drink wine much like us!

A fantastic experience meeting Areti and her mother! They have everything to purchase at fair prices. They were warm, welcoming and kind to us. I would highly recommend them to anybody visiting Rhodes as the honey is exceptionally high quality and pure!

Wine education and tasting. Crating Greek dishes, and experiencing an excellent meal with ample wine of your choice.

We had such a great time at this wine tasting and cooking class. Jason, the son of the vineyard owners, was fantastic. Be ready for his deadpan humor. Once you catch on, it is hilarious. They were very accommodating. We actually showed up a day early by mistake and he still took care of us.He started with a really thorough explanation of the vineyard and Greek wines. Jason answered every question in depth and was much more informative than I expected. I would encourage anyone going to ask lots of questions. Some of the things people asked were things I never would have thought of and it made it even more interesting.We walked into the vineyard where he explained the different pruning techniques and enjoy the beautiful view. When we came back to the covered outdoor area, they had food ready for us to put together some traditional dishes like tzatziki, dolmades.Afterwards we sat down at large picnic tables for a family style meal. The food was absolutely fantastic. It was such a lovely and enjoyable day. I highly recommend it. If you are looking for a true immersive cooking class standing over a stove this is not that, but I was so happy with the experience. All of us loved it.

Visited Areti Honey to buy some honey and we we’re greeted by Areti🙏🏻 with an warm welcome. We got an tasting from the different honey’s thyme and Agave and also got a tour of the factory. Bought some honey, beeswax and Honey with the grate. Very nice allover, top quality and great people / family with love and hart for the bees and the company that her father and mother and grand parents started. I wish them all the best and hope fore a great season 💪🏼 keep going strong👍🏻 Support the local farmers and visit and buy from them💪🏼

We arrived at Taverna Perasma, and were greeted with a cup of coffee. As we started late due to the other people arriving late we went straight to the Kitchen so the food had time to cook. We all stood round the table and under the instruction of Stelios and his mother, we each prepared a Greek salad. We then helped in the preparation of Tzatziki, Aubergine dip, Spanakopita (spinach pie), dolmades and stuffed Zucchini and watched Mama prepare a chicken, potato and lemon dish. And of course, helped prepare a Moussaka We then went for a tour around Stelios’s farm where he grows all the ingredients he needs, anything he does not grow on the farm, they purchase locally. He explained about the sustainability of water usage, employment, effect of tourism and what items are sourced locally and what items were imported from further afield. Quite an eye opener. We then went to see the olive groves, where again Stelios explained the different stages of the olive and when they are harvested. Following that we went to see the olive oil production area, explaining the natural methods they use. From there we went back to the restaurant and tasted some olive oils and received more information on the different types of olive oil and myths associated with oils. You are also able to purchase some of the oils they produce. Then to top the day off we all sat down to a meal of all the food that we made or prepared, which was all very tasty. It was an extremely full, informative and enjoyable day and well worth the money, and gave you a great insight into Kos itself. The whole day lasted about 5 ½ hours. The only thing to take into consideration is how you get to the restaurant which is situated on the main road between the airport and Kos Town. We actually hired a car (35 euro’s a day) which we thought was easier then trying to get a bus, taxi or transfer.

Beautiful setting at a winery 45 minute drive from central Rhodes. Good wine, cooking classes were fun and lots of good foo.

This was a fabulous experience. The scenery on the drive to the winery was so interesting. Walking in the winery was fun. Learning to make some Greek dishes and then eating many Greek dishes was a wonderful way to spend the day. And the wine was very good. The guide/owner was so good at explaining everything.

Best tour we booked throughout Greece! Definitely worth the time and price. From the village tour, the wine tasting, the cooking to the magnificent lunch it was all perfection! Thank you, Addie, for being the most gracious host and guide! FYI if you’re on a cruise ship it was a bit longer than 4 hours.

A wonderfully relaxing cooking class with two Greek housewives and Kiki as the good soul of the whole experience (contact person, interpreter, and organizer). All ingredients were fresh and, as far as possible, even from our own cultivation. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and very kind people. Many heartfelt thanks for these wonderful hours 😀
