Just a short drive from Rethymno, you'll find the peaceful village of Pigi, a wonderful glimpse into authentic Cretan life.

Set in a spacious, sun-kissed garden, this cooking experience unfolds at a gentle Cretan pace. As you arrive, share all together a glass of raki and relax, letting the surroundings ease you into the day. When it’s time to cook, your host welcomes you into the kitchen, apron on, guiding you step by step through treasured local recipes.

Together, you will prepare ntakos, tzatziki, stuffed vegetables, Greek salad, and more—simple ingredients transformed into authentic Cretan flavors by your own hands. Once the dishes are ready, they are baked in a traditional wood-fired oven and enjoyed outdoors in an idyllic setting, accompanied by local wine and a glass of raki.

A celebration of taste, tradition, and shared moments—this is Cretan cuisine at its most heartfelt.
