Mykonian Cooking Class at a Traditional Family Home

At the Mykonian Spiti — meaning 'home' in Greek — guests are welcomed as family rather than tourists. The class runs for five hours and covers a set of traditional recipes that reflect everyday Mykonian cooking: tzatziki, spanakopita, and stuffed vegetables are prepared using ingredients harvested from the estate's own vegetable garden. The session begins with a welcome spread of local mezes — dakos, kopanisti, and louza — while your host, Teta, introduces the farm and the family's cooking traditions. A short tour of the garden explains how the organic produce is grown and why seasonal, local ingredients matter in Greek cuisine. The hands-on cooking then takes place in Teta's home kitchen, with guidance at every stage. After cooking, guests sit down together for the lunch or dinner they have prepared. Unlimited local wine, raki, and juices accompany the meal. The pace is relaxed and social — there is time between stages to talk, explore the estate, and take photographs. The experience closes with a gift bag of Teta's handmade products to take home. Two departure times are available daily — a morning session running 10:00 to 15:00 and an afternoon session running 16:00 to 21:00. Round-trip transfers from your hotel or cruise ship port are included; a small surcharge applies for remote areas of the island.
