  • Kalitsounia – Traditional Cretan Pies: Get hands-on with dough rolling and fill your pies with local cheese and wild greens.
  • Tzatziki & Dakos – Classic Cretan Appetizers: Master these simple yet delicious Mediterranean dishes that are essential on every Cretan table.

Enjoy Your Feast in a Stunning Outdoor Setting

After cooking, you’ll dine under the shade of trees on the chapel’s terrace. Savor the flavors of Crete with copious amounts of local wine and of course, leave room for dessert – a sweet surprise awaits!
