- Private

Get ready for a hands-on family experience! The activity takes place in a cozy local home near the heart of Chania and celebrates Cretan tradition and togetherness. You are invited to roll up your sleeves and create the island’s beloved kalitsounia – Cretan pastries filled with local cheese, herbs, and greens.

You’ll learn how to make homemade phyllo dough, taste a variety of fresh Cretan cheeses, and enjoy sweet local treats like koulourakia (cookies) and xerotiganakia, accompanied by fresh lemonade and Greek coffee for adults.

This experience is a celebration of food, laughter, and shared memories. Work together, cook together, and gather around the table to savor your creations – with a sip of “tsikoudia”, of course!
