Our Family Farm
Team
We were born and bred in Crete for more than 3 generations. We feel lucky as the Cretan lifestyle runs in our veins. We would love to welcome you to our family farm and guide you in our way of life. My adorable grandmother will show you how we make Cretan cheese, my lovely mother will share with you all the secrets of Cretan cuisine and I will guide you through the evolution of Cretan rural life and the Cretan lifestyle. Probably you will meet more members of our family as the Cretan Vibes is a family story! Our aim is to make you feel like a local, like being part of our family while experiencing the real Crete.

Mama Stella and daughter Mariana walked each of us through preparing these dishes at our own cooking station in a covered pavilion surrounded by olive groves. Such a wonderful meal from such simple, farm fresh ingredients! And I learned how to extract the heart of a wild artichoke without getting stabbed by the thorns! A great day!

It was a very friendly, easy to follow, regardless of cooking skills. The ingredients were all homegrown, it was very interesting to see their cultivation and get more informations about it. The environment was excellent, a pittoresque place close to the fields and olive trees of the family. In our visit in Crete this was the most authentic Cretan experience. The food was delicious and we received all the family recipes by mail after. We'll definitely coming back and recommend it to anyone who's interested in cooking and food!
