Foodie Tours and Culinary Vacations in Greece
Journey to a small family farm on the Peloponnese coast opposite the island of Poros, home to one of our best-selling culinary vacations in Greece — A Greek Cooking Odyssey. Here, you’ll experience authentic life on a Greek farm while exploring Greek cuisine through hands-on cooking classes and immersive cultural activities.
The farm is located on mainland Greece just a few minutes from the charming port village of Galatas, this tranquil retreat is surrounded by olive groves and views of the turquoise waters of the Aegean. Over the past couple of years your hosts, Chef Katerina and her daughter chef Dora, have lovingly transformed their property into a welcoming haven for food lovers and beach enthusiasts. Their renovated apartments, cottages, and luxury tents offer an idyllic setting for a Greek cooking vacation that combines relaxation with culinary exploration.
Nestled amid olive trees on the mainland of Greece, the farm faces the narrow channel separating it from Poros — a location rich in natural beauty, Mediterranean charm, and Greek culture. The area is ideal for walking tours, cycling, snorkeling, and day trips to nearby Saronic Islands such as Hydra and Aegina.
Throughout your stay, you’ll embrace the essence of Greek food — simple, seasonal, and full of vibrant flavor. Learn about olive oil production, taste it fresh from the grove, and use it in your Greek cooking classes. Discover how the Mediterranean diet relies on wholesome ingredients like fish, seafood, and vegetables, seasoned with oregano, thyme, rosemary, and garlic.
Whether you’re exploring hidden coves, enjoying a drink at local beach bars, or discovering nearby ancient ruins and historical sites, this Greek culinary vacation is more than just a cooking experience — it’s a journey into the heart of Greek life and culture.
But the best part of your Greek farm odyssey? You will be welcomed like family and invited to live the authentic, warm, and relaxed life of the Greeks.
