THE BAKERY & COOKING EXPERIENCE
THE BEST BAKERY IN THE WORLD
As your guests step into our warm, aromatic family bakery, they will join us for a baking and cooking experience they will never forget. Lunch is … included!
[The Bakery & Cooking Experience is part of our 15-Day Greek Odyssey Tour] and the 9-Day Ultimate Greek Experience]
The entire workshop, which includes the Bakery & Cooking Experience and a large meal afterward, is about 4 hours. It can be adjusted if you prefer a shorter experience.
☼ During this hands-on experience, guests will learn to craft authentic local delicacies, including mouthwatering cheese pies, savory spinach pies, and delectable sweets.
☼ The master baker (Kostas) will share his expertise and guide them through each step, from choosing the best high-quality and fresh ingredients to taste the final product.
What is Included
All ingredients, which are always fresh & local (the greens are harvested from our garden the day before, or the morning of – recipes depend on seasonal availability), custom digital recipe book based on the day’s creations, sent via .pdf after the Experience – these are our private recipes that even other Greeks don’t always know!
☼ Photos & videos – we capture high-quality images and videos so guests can focus 100% on the Experience, and we send them afterward.
☼ Aprons are provided during the Experience; guests can purchase them to take home.
☼ The large Greek lunch includes what we make together plus seasonal salads, local cheeses, fresh, homemade tzatziki (the yogurt is made with our own sheep’s milk)
☼ Some of the local famous wine made in the traditional style – the bottles we provide are homemade with either the grapes from our personal vineyard or our neighbor’s vineyard, plus the tasty dessert at the end.
☼ We often have food left over that guests can take home to enjoy again.

And a recipe for you: Panos’ Amazing Tzatziki
Ingredients:
☼ 200g strained Greek yogurt

☼ 3 garlic cloves
☼ Salt
PS. The left photo below is our gourmet version tzatziki with extra “decoration” and olive oil cream!
How to Make It:
☼ Shred the cucumber into a strainer inside a bowl – shred it vertically, so you only use the hard parts of the cucumber – try to avoid getting any seeds.
☼ Push the cucumber against the strainer to get out as much liquid as possible.
☼ Add two large pinches of salt – set aside for 5-10 minutes
☼ Shred garlic
☼ Put yogurt in a bowl – spread it out
☼ Squeeze the cucumber a little more
☼ Add cucumber to yogurt
☼ Add garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and a bit more salt to taste
