The Art of Cretan Cuisine: A Hands-On Cooking Experience

Cretan cuisine is more than just food; it is a way of life, a memory, and a tradition. At Arevitis Farm, cooking becomes a journey that begins in the garden and ends at the table, where flavors meet stories and people connect with nature.

From Garden to Plate

The experience begins where everything is born: in our garden. Together we gather fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and eggs straight from the hens. Everything we use has just been picked by our own hands. This simplicity is the secret of authentic Mediterranean cooking.

From soil to basket — a harvest full of color and aroma.

Traditional Flavors, Authentic Recipes

With our fresh ingredients, we prepare dishes that carry the heritage of Crete:

  • Dakos with juicy tomato, myzithra cheese, and olive oil.
  • Kalitsounia filled with aromatic greens and cheese, folded with care.
  • Seasonal salads with fresh vegetables and our own olive oil.
  • Fried zucchini, crispy and full of flavor.
  • Hilopites (handmade pasta) with milk collected from the farm.

As we cook, we share stories, secrets of Cretan cuisine, and small tips passed down through generations. This activity is not limited to recipes; it opens the door to a deeper connection with local culture.

A Table with a View

Once the food is ready, we all sit together at a long wooden table beneath the trees of the garden. With panoramic views of the White Mountains and the village of Vafes, we savor the fruits of our effort. The meal is more than just food – it is a shared experience filled with smiles, conversations, and the joy of authenticity.

Enjoying the meal we just cooked, with smiles and love.
