A 30 days learning vacation!!!

Being part of the Cretan daily life

I am George Portokalakis a passionate about Cretan food and culture. I love nothing more than enjoying a good meal surrounded by friends and family. And... I love to share this passion with everyone.

After spending over than 35 years in the travel industry and cooking business, I know what I love the best, is to being able to share my country, and its' food and wine. I would tell anyone willing to listen about the wonders of Cretan cuisine, the relaxing nature of the Cretan people, share the delights of Cretan cuisine and culture with few people like you - people who appreciate good, fresh, natural and healthy cooking or just love to eat!

This vacation offers you the opportunity to enjoy the regional cuisine in Crete, as well as learn to prepare dishes from native farm house ladies and muster chefs.

You'll visit restaurants, taverns, local farm homes where you sample delicious dishes. We feed you like royalty, treat you to fine wine, tasty home made bread, green pies and teach you to make your way around the fresh food markets. We won't rush you. Our cooking lessons can last 2 hours and afterwards you enjoy the meal that was prepared. Of course, there is always time for you to make some discoveries on your own.

In our tour you will travel comfortably and stay in comfortable, modern accommodations with distinctly Cretan flavour - and quaint Cretan guest houses - inns. No need to worry about a language barrier because our tour leader is fluent in English and Greek. Cooking classes are always taught in English or translated by one of our guides.
