Cooking at Dounias (Ntounias)
Cooking Class
EXPLORE AUTHENTIC CRETE AT DOUNIAS!
Join us for a delightful 4-hour cooking experience at ‘Ntounias’, located in the serene ‘Drakona’ village, nestled in the ‘Keramia’ district. Spearheaded by Stelios Trilyrakis, a professional chef with a passion for reviving the traditional flavors of his heritage, this culinary adventure promises more than just a cooking lesson.
At ‘Ntounias’, everything is cooked on fire stoves, with ingredients sourced directly from local producers and Stelios’s own farm and garden. This commitment to authenticity offers a rare, farm-to-table experience. You’ll get a hands-on tour of the garden, picking fresh veggies and herbs, and visit Stelios’s farm, home to a local species of cows.
This journey is not just about cooking; it’s about immersing yourself in Cretan culture, understanding the roots of its cuisine, and enjoying the simplicity and purity of flavors known only to this beautiful island.
