A must do in Rhodes! - A fantastic and very well organised experience from start to finish! Our tour guide Addy was very friendly and knowledgeable of the local town and culture. The experience was very interesting and fun, where we got to learn a lot about the local businesses, traditions and try some lovely wine. The experience was excellent to see a part of Rhodes that you may not usually get to see and to learn how to make some traditional dishes. After the trip we were sent the recipes and some lovely photos. I would 100% recommend to anyone!

Great experience of Apollina - A great experience from start to finish. Addie our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable and looked after us really well, as well as all the other hosts for the cooking and wine tasting. Was a very traditional and authentic experience which encompasses the way of life in Rhodes. The cooking class was really good, using fresh ingredients and we enjoyed what we had made and it was very tasty and enjoyable. The length of the trip was just right, not too long and not too short. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting a traditional and authentic feel of Rhodes and it was definitely great value.

Typical cooking, enjoying, laughing: a must do on Rhodes - Very individual and intense, a must-do in Rhodes, even for Greeks! Very comprehensive, funny and friendly explained by the guide Addie. Delicious and typical dishes with locally sourced products, all local and typical. Information about the place, the plants and the customs of the region totally interesting, remain in the memory. Wine tasting great, food absolutely delicious and rich (leftovers are given!) and the Greek Coffee at Museums Kafeinion at the end is perfect. An impressive morning, worth every penny!

Nice, rewarding experience - Very nice excursion and experience that I can highly recommend. Good guide with name Addie who was very knowledgeable. We were also lucky enough to come together with an American couple who were very funny and nice, thank you for that. Lovely to experience a traditional Greek little village without tourists. /Anethe Åkerlind Varberg

Fabulous day! - There was nothing about this day we didn’t love! Panos made sure he had planned a day that was interesting, fun, enjoyable and informative. Our cooking lesson was fantastic - easy enough for us to remember but ensured we leant new skills. The wine tasting at Piperis Winery was also really enjoyable - we would have bought SO much more wine if we had room in our suitcases! A quality winery. And then there was lunch in the taverna which was delicious , with wine and dessert. We could not have asked for a better day and we felt like we had seen so much of Rhodes at the end of the day. Thank you Panos!!

Don’t miss out on this fun foodie experience - We had a fantastic time, picked up on time from our hotel by Pano and George who were friendly and knowledgeable. They drove us to a traditional Greek village and hosted a cooking experience, we then took a short walk to do some local wine tasting and then back to the taverna to eat what we had made plus fresh bread, pitta and a main dish, there was so much food and everything was delicious. Afterward we went for Greek coffee at another location and then headed back, it was a wonderful trip which we highly recommend.
