About Us

Location

From Potamia, With Love

In the fertile valley of Potamia, our family invites you into a real Naxian garden kitchen. Harvest what’s in season, cook time-honored recipes with local olive oil and cheeses, and discover the aromas of island herbs. We end every class at a shared table—good food, local wine, and easy conversation. Small groups, private sessions on request, and optional village or garden walks make it a rich, memorable experience.

About Cooking Lessons

Our Half-Day Naxos Cooking Class (4 Hours)

We’re a small, family-run kitchen sharing Naxos flavors the way we cook at home—simple, seasonal, and straight from our garden. You’ll pick fresh herbs and vegetables, learn Cycladic techniques for meze, pies, and slow-cooked dishes, then sit together to enjoy the feast with local wine and a little Greek dance.

Classes are intimate and relaxed, tailored for couples, families, or small groups and optional add-ons like a guided garden walk or a visit to a local cheesemaker to see how Naxian cheeses are made. More than a lesson—it's a warm slice of island life.

This is a must do! The family and the employees are incredibly nice and provided one of the best experiences I had in Greece! Walking around the farm, cooking, and getting a tour of the area was even better than I expected. Some of the best food I’ve had plus a walk around the area with some facts I never would’ve known.

Most authentic and fun experience in Greece! Anna is so much fun! It was a great evening to visit her family’s farm, pick veggies, visit the animals, cook, eat delicious food, drink wine, go for a walkabout and end the night with very fun Greek dancing. It is truly the highlight of our entire trip to Greece. Cannot recommend it enough. Truly left there feeling like we had 10 new friends!

What an experience. We were welcomed in to the family farm and restaurant and given an insight in to farming on the island and got to make local recipes from the food we collected during our tour of the farm. We then had a walking tour of the local area whilst the food cooked. We eat the food alongside wine made by the family. The evening was concluded with dancing and plate smashing!!

From picking fresh vegetables from the garden and preparing dishes together to walking through the beautiful property, our family absolutely loved this day. The meal we shared was really delicious & dancing after was so much fun. Thank you Jack for sharing your very special part of the world with us. We learnt so much.
