- Villa Maria-Syros - Gather at Villa Maria, a charming historical guesthouse. The cooking class will be held in the villa’s gourmet kitchen. Participants will be treated to a glass of herbal tea made from the island’s wild herbs while receiving insights into Greek culinary traditions. The hands-on cooking class will involve preparing a complete menu featuring several dishes, with step-by-step guidance on Greek home recipes that are not typically found in restaurants. The menu will include a couple of starters, a pie, a salad, a main dish, and a dessert. There is an option for a vegan/vegetarian menu. Menus change with the seasons. At the conclusion, everyone will enjoy a feast in the villa’s shaded courtyard. For an additional cost of 50€ per person, a wine and cheese tasting can be added. This includes sampling excellent Greek wines (a white, a rosé, a red, and a dessert wine) from Greek grape varieties, along with artisanal cheeses from various Greek islands.
