Nikos is a wonderful host! He greeted us at the entrance to his farm and give us an in depth tour. We then helped prepare some very delicious traditional dishes. One of the best meals/experiences of our trip!

This place was really interesting. The tour was 50/50 farm and food, which was very interesting. Our guide was fun and made it all interesting. The class does food preparation (cutting, seasoning, etc.) while our guide cooks it. Tasted awesome. Super fun.

Fantastic experience. Nikos was so personable and excited to share his family’s farming history with us. He shared what makes Naxos farming and crops unique as we walked some of the farm and collected items needed for our meal. We arrived at a long table set for us in front of the wood burning oven and he introduced his family. He guided us through the preparation of various parts of our meal all while explaining the how and why of each step and the specific dish. Delightful group interactions also made the evening fun. We learned so much in this one evening about the farming and sustainability of Naxos. Highly recommend this experience.

Such an amazing experience and one of our favorite excursions during our time in Naxos! We learned so much from Nick about the their farm and Naxos, and can’t wait to replicate some of the recipes at home. We helped our group prepare so many delicious dishes and shared a wonderful meal. We recommend arriving with an empty stomach because there was so much food! Definitely a must-do activity if you’re visiting Naxos!

If you are looking to cook delicious Greek food with backdrop views of mountains, you must choose this. It was a wonderful experience walking through the farm where the produce is planted and harvested. An authentic family hosting can not be beaten. Thank you

The experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Nikos and his family were extremely kind and welcoming and couldn’t be better hosts. The experience started with a tour of the farm which was very informative and interesting. Nikos answered our many questions and was very knowledgeable on just about everything that goes on at his family’s farm. The cooking class was family-style and very fun. His father was the one who cooked the food in the wood oven and did an amazing job. The food we ate came from the farm and was absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for something to do in Naxos, I would highly recommend this

The experience was amazing. We first enjoyed walking through the farm and our kids liked seeing animals, collecting eggs that were later used for one of the most delicious omelets we have ever had, and looking at the different fruit trees.
When we got to the area where we were going to cook, the wood burning oven was already lit. We got to prepare all of the dishes and even my 10 year old daughter participated and loved it.
By the time all the dishes were cooked and we ate most of the dishes, we were all beyond full. The food tasted so good.
We were also super lucky to be here on the one occasion per year on Greek Orthodox Pascha during Easter Sunday when it’s customary for families to prepare goat and we got to make goat stew in addition to all the dishes which we made on this occasion extra special.
The whole Perivoli Farm Family was super gracious and helpful and they all had great smiles on their faces which made us all feel like we are part of their family.
We loved the experience!

Went with family including our two year old grandson. Farm animals were interesting to see. Cooking class was interactive and fun. Multi-generational host family was involved in our experience including some family entertained our grandson. The food was delicious - and it felt like we were guests at their home.
