Experience the magic of Cretan cuisine where it all begins — in the garden and land of Arevitis Farm. Harvest vegetables, herbs, and eggs with us, and prepare authentic dishes from the traditional Mediterranean diet. Become, for a while, part of the farm, nature, and flavor.
At Arevitis Farm, cooking is not just an art — it’s a daily act of connection with the land, the culture, and the people. Our cooking experience begins in the field, continues at the wooden kitchen table, and ends with a shared meal under the trees in the garden.
Together we will:
Harvest fresh vegetables and herbs from our organic garden.
Collect eggs from the chickens' nests.
With the ingredients we’ve gathered, we will prepare traditional Cretan dishes such as:
Dakos with fresh tomato and mizithra cheese
Seasonal salads with the farm’s olive oil
Kalitsounia with cheese and herbs
Fried zucchini
Hilopites (traditional pasta) with fresh milk from the farm
We will then gather around the communal table under the trees to share flavors, stories, authentic moments, and smiles.
This experience is not just a cooking class. It’s a flavorful dive into tradition — where each ingredient has a story, and each recipe carries memories. Through simple, authentic methods and fresh ingredients straight from our garden and farm, you’ll discover how cooking becomes an act of love and connection to the earth.
Deepen your knowledge of Cretan cuisine and local ingredients.
Enjoy a genuine agrotourism experience — from harvesting to serving.
Learn traditional cooking techniques with honest, local ingredients, and taste the fruits of your effort.
Ideal for couples, families, food lovers, and fans of slow living.
The food we prepare together is served outdoors on the farm, under the shade of the trees, with panoramic views of Lefka Ori and the village of Vafes. Our table is not just a dining space — it’s a place of connection, relaxation, and the feeling of being part of the authentic Cretan experience.
The farm experience promotes sustainability through natural cultivation, seasonal ingredients, and responsible resource use. You’ll learn how traditional cuisine can go hand in hand with ecological awareness, supporting the local community and our bond with the environment.
