What you’ll do
We know that for most travellers, tasting authentic local food is at the top of their things-to-do list. To share our own love for all the special flavours of Pelion, we created a cooking experience made up of the recipes we love the most.
Starting with a traditional welcome drink, this 3-hour experience takes place at our kitchen lab, which is located on a hill overlooking the beach of Chorefto. There, a local cook will guide you on a journey through some of the most authentic flavours of this part of Greece.
In this session, you will learn how we make our creamy cheese “galotiri” and our ancient comfort food “trahana” and turn wild greens and eggs into a mouthwatering main course. You will also make the filling for zucchini flowers, a popular summer delicacy and finish off with a dessert pie made out of pumpkin.
Whether you find that food is a great way to socialize, or simply love good food, “Pelion Flavours” is the ideal choice for you.

Had such a good time, one of the most fun family experiences. Maria and her mother Eleni greeted us with a warm welcome and a smile, they are the best. The cooking part is fun and educative and the view is breathtaking. Of course, we had lunch eating the food we prepared and so much more. Highly recommended!

We did a cooking class with the wonderful Maria and her mother on a balcony with incredibly stunning views, overlooking the Aegean Sea. The atmosphere was relaxed and it was really fun to prepare the food and it was delicious!

Our cooking lesson was a great experience! Maria and her mother Eleni are lovely, generous women, sharing their knowledge of traditional greek dishes which we all cooked together, and also feeding us extra dishes and wonderful wine. And of course, the Pelion view, while cooking, made the whole event perfect.
