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.

Marianna and her mom are passionate in their cooking. They managed to give us great tips, beautiful recipes and a wonderful time at there farm.
We enjoyed this warmhearted... read more family and the way they organise these cooking classes. We hope to come back some day and enjoy once more these lovely ladies and join them in their passion for food and cooking. Thank you so much for this great experience!
May 3, 2022Absolutely perfect day with Marianna and her mom Stela. The farm and the space where the class takes place is beautiful, we were lucky with weather but they have covers... read more in case of rain or strong winds. Marianna was super communicative ahead of time with directions and to answer questions. They welcomed us with homemade refreshments, we cooked a 5-course meal all with fresh ingredients right from the farm. The Cretan food was delicious (of course), and we learned many new things even though we are both quite experienced cooks already, and Marianna and Stela were wonderful about answering our questions. They are such warm, kind-hearted people and it was a very well-organized day. I can't say enough good things about Cretan Vibes! Go!

December 13, 2021This experience was one of the best cooking and food culture experiences I have ever had. I always love to take cooking classes abroad, its a wonderful way to connect... read more with people and culture. Marianna and mama Stela are wonderful hostesses, they greeted us with home made lemonade, and a local drink made with pomegranate and cinnamon. From there we took a walk on the farm, and in the garden. The setting is so, so beautiful, in the olive groves with a view of the mountains. Our menu consisted of a five course meal, with sweet cheese pies, fried dough with cinnamon, sesame and honey, dolmas and stuffed zucchini blossoms, a rusk with feta and tomatoes, a fried graviera cheese appetizer, and the main course of lamb stew with potatoes, tomatoes and artichoke. The format allows for so much hands on, and really making the food. We were encouraged to see, feel and taste. Truly amazing experience I will never forget.

November 25, 2021The last day of our Greece trip we had the best grand finale as a cooking class with Marianna and Stella. We were welcomed onto their idyllic farm with a... read more glass of fresh lemonade. It was a beautiful setting for the class - held on a restored patio overlooking their farm. They were wonderful teachers and such kind people. They made the preparation of the food easy. Then we sat down and enjoyed the meal together. The food was AMAZING. It was crazy delicious food, one of my top meals we ate in Greece. I, of course, highly recommend this class! It will be a highlight to your Grecian adventures.
