My husband, daughter, and I made our way to Arolithos to visit the Cretan village museum and do the cooking course. We met our hostess, Dorothy, who is absolutely delightful and spent so much time patiently showing us around the village/museum and answering all our questions and chatting about life in Crete. We all felt we learned so much from her, Dorothy is an asset to the village. She also taught us the delicious Greek recipes on our course (tzatziki, ntakos, dolmades,gemista, bekri meze, lamb with green beans,sakropites, Greek coffee) , which we then thoroughly enjoyed eating on the lovely restaurant verandah. I didn't catch the name of the lady who served us, with stunning pink hair and lipstick to match, but what a lovely, friendly lady she is, we felt very welcome and had a brilliant day out. Nothing was too much trouble and all the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend this outing for anyone wanting to learn about Cretan life and food.
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a beautiful and detailed review of your family's day at Arolithos Traditional Cretan Village! It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, your husband, and your daughter. We are absolutely thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed our Museum of Agricultural History and Popular Art, as well as the hands-on cooking experience. Dorothy is indeed a true treasure and a vital part of our village family. Her passion for sharing Cretan culture, history, and daily life is what makes these experiences so genuine. I will certainly pass along your wonderful compliments to her; she will be overjoyed to know she made such a lasting impression and that you successfully mastered all those delicious traditional recipes—from the fresh tzatziki and ntakos to the dolmades, gemista, bekri meze, Cretan lamb, and of course, the sweet sarikopites and traditional Greek coffee! Dining on our restaurant's veranda, tasting the fruits of your own labor, is the ultimate way to experience Cretan hospitality. I also cannot wait to share your lovely feedback with our team member Christina with the stunning pink hair and matching lipstick! She brings so much vibrant energy and warmth to our Delfys tavern and she will be delighted to hear that she made you feel so welcome. Our family and staff work hard to ensure that every guest experiences the authentic "Crete of yesterday" with a warm, accommodating smile, and reviews like yours make our efforts truly rewarding. We would love to welcome you and your family back to Arolithos whenever your travels bring you back to our beautiful island. Until then, we wish you all the very best! Warmest regards from Crete, Michalis Saloustros
Very friendly tour guide with good knowledge of the local village and musueum/crafts. She also taught the cooking class which had a great amount and variety of delicious greek cuisine using lots of lovely olive oil. I was alone on this tour as it was out of season in November but I was very grateful they ran it for me as many of the others had closed for the year. We made dakos, briam meze (i think) with lamb and pork, also tzatziki, stuffed vibe leaves, gemista and cheese pies. All were very lovely. The village was very quiet and peaceful at this time of year and the views across the countryside are spectacular. Thanks to my hosts Evie and Hara. I really enjoyed it 😁
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review of your experience at Arolithos Traditional Cretan Village! We are truly grateful for your kind words. It gives us immense pleasure to know that you enjoyed the tour and found our hosts, Evie and Hara, friendly and knowledgeable about the village and the museum. Your compliments have already been passed on to them, and they were delighted to hear you had such a positive experience. We are especially happy that we were able to run the cooking class for you, even as a solo traveller, during the quiet month of November. Providing a genuine and immersive taste of Cretan life and cuisine is at the heart of what we do. It sounds like you had a fantastic time preparing and tasting all those delicious traditional dishes—the dakos, tzatziki, dolmadakia (stuffed vine leaves), gemista, and, of course, the use of our lovely local olive oil! Your description of the village as quiet, peaceful, and offering spectacular countryside views perfectly captures the serene atmosphere we strive to maintain, especially during the off-season. We sincerely thank you for choosing Arolithos. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back soon, perhaps to experience one of our other cultural programs or simply to enjoy the Cretan hospitality in a different season. With best regards and wishes, The Team at Arolithos Traditional Cretan Village

I booked this cooking class as a surprise birthday present for my hubby while on holiday - and it was fabulous! The setting is just super cute and Evy was so lovely and informative throughout the museum tour and the cooking class. We completed several dishes, starters, mains and dessert, alongside lovely local wine and Raki. Getting to eat the food you prepped looking out over the wonderful scenery was just perfect. Thank you so much for an amazing day :)
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the cooking class was a memorable birthday surprise for your husband. It’s great to know you enjoyed the charming setting, Evy’s guidance, and, of course, the delicious food and local drinks. Sharing the meal with a beautiful view truly sounds magical. We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future! Yiorgos Meimarakis
Alexandria was a fabulous guide! We enjoyed touring the museum & traditional homes to learn about Crete’s history & culture. My whole family (husband & I with early 20s sons) had fun preparing the Cretan dishes. They turned out delicious. It was an extra treat to eat outside & listen to the music from a christening celebration & watch the dancing.
Fantastic cooking and history lesson with a great view for added benefit. We had a great chef and enjoyed eating our creations.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed both the cooking and the history lesson, along with the stunning views. It’s wonderful to hear you had fun creating and savoring your dishes. We hope to see you again for another fantastic experience! Yiorgos Meimarakis
We had so much fun at this class! Our instructor, Alexandria, was very kind, funny, and knowledgeable. First we had a tour of the museum, then we made dolmades, taziki, and a few other delicious dishes! We sat outside to eat, and the view was amazing. Highly recommend.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re so glad you had fun and enjoyed Alexandra’s warmth and expertise. It’s great to hear you loved the museum tour, the delicious dishes, and the stunning view while dining. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for more fun and flavor!
