Naxos Perivoli Farm Experience & Wood-fire Cooking Class

Great experience. Such a fun time and great food. Farm was so nice and can’t recommend it enough. Book it

Entertaining, educational and loads of interaction. Family had a great time, including the youngest who is tough to impress.

Wonderful people, wonderful experience! The landscape is beautiful, and the tour of the farm was very interesting. Our leader was open to questions and very knowledgeable in her answers. The food was great fun to create, and delicious. An excellent experience for teen girls - my 14 year old daughter enjoyed the whole cooking experience, but she especially enjoyed the dancing! If you don't have a car, they will arrange a ride for you that is very convenient.

We enjoyed an excellent afternoon walking round the farm with Contstantina and learning about the food from the Naxian farm and the follow on cooking was a very sociable experience. A great way of meeting people in a relaxed and fun environment, it couldnt be more welcoming and our 10 year old had a great time.

We had an incredible experience at Perivoli farms and would do it again if we return to Naxos. The entire family was so welcoming and warm and made us feel like family too. Constantina did such a wonderful job teaching us about the farm and leading us in preparing all of the incredible dishes. I would HIGHLY recommend this experience. Efcharisto to the Perivoli family.

If you are looking for a cooking experience this one is 5 star. We went as a family with my 19 year old twins. You meet the hens that supply the eggs for your omelette, the family donkey, get to know about the terrain in the shade of olive trees, and all of this is done with enthusiasm and humour by our hosts that is including and inclusive in a group of 12-13 people. Everybody gets a turn and that’s a skill. Then you sit down and prepare and cook together Greek favourites tzatziki, veggie stew, zucchini and cheese fritters and fried cheese and filo pastries covered in honey and sesame that were devine. It was my husband’s birthday, I only told them the night before when they texted great directions to the farm. They made him a cake no fuss just like that an open gesture that just added to the day. This will be a core memory for our family. The day ended with dancing and a smashing plates and we left with full bellies and hearts as the sun went down. Thank you Nikos we will not forget this experience

Nice tour of farm. Stamis was a great guide. Food was delicious.

The experience was so wonderful and a highlight of our trip. The tour of the beautiful farm was nice and informative. We loved feeding Margarita the donkey, she is beautiful and gentle. Our kids (ages 7, 11 and 14) all loved participating in the cooking. The food was so delicious and we were so full afterwards. Our meal included tzatziki, zucchini balls, bread and cheese, Naxian fried potatoes (the best fries we have ever eaten!), cooked vegetables (like a ratatouille), and saganaki. Our guide Soto was lovely and the rest of the family were all so welcoming. Our 7 year old loved playing with the cats and our 14 year old loved the dancing after the meal. The evening ended with plate breaking and dessert, opa!

Our time at the Perivoli farm experience and cooking class was the most memorable and magical highlight of our entire trip to Naxos! From the moment we stepped onto the beautiful, lush property, our guides, Stamos and Soto, welcomed us with the warmest Greek hospitality that made us feel instantly at home. We loved walking through the vibrant gardens and learning about traditional Naxian agricultural methods and their incredible olive growing process. We even picked fresh eggs that we would soon become our lunch. Our guides walked us through every step of the cooking class patiently, while sharing the time-honored family recipes and the secrets behind the amazing authentic Cycladic flavors. Sitting down to eat the feast we helped prepare, bursting with rich flavors you can only get from freshly picked produce and paired with local wine, was pure heaven. To top off an already perfect day, the afternoon ended with vibrant traditional Greek music and dancing that had everyone laughing, moving, and feeling like part of the family. Stamos and Soto made the entire day incredibly fun, educational and entertaining. This is so much more than a cooking class, this was a slow progression to a true celebration of Naxian culture and community. If you want to connect deeply with the culture of the island and eat the best meal of your vacation, this experience is a must-do!

Perivoli Farms on Naxos is an absolute must-do! It’s an authentic, joyful, deeply memorable farm experience that exceeded every expectation. Our guides, Stamos and Soto, welcomed our family with warm hospitality and led a tour that blended hands-on farming, history, and local culture in a way that felt personal and effortlessly engaging. They walked us through their family olive groves, showed us the potato field with infectious pride and extraordinary knowledge. They explained olive oil cultivation and tasting with clear, down-to-earth detail and brought Naxian traditions to life with vivid stories about food and seasonal rituals. We met the farm animals who are deeply cared for and immediately gained our affection and appreciation. Their explanations connected the land to the people and the plate. We learned not just how things are grown, but why they matter to the island’s heritage. The meal we cooked together was spectacular: fresh, simple, and so delicious! Everything was made with ingredients from the farm. We paired it with the farm’s own wine, relaxed under shade, and felt like guests at a family celebration. The highlight was the spirited dancing and plate-breaking! It was joyful, celebratory, and so much fun for our teenagers and the adults alike. The whole experience felt safe, playful, and unforgettable. Practical details: family-friendly, the hosts were patient with questions, and the setting is beautiful and rustic. This is perfect for families, couples, and anyone who wants a genuine taste of Naxos, that brings different families and cultures together, without feeling “touristy.” Thank you Perivoli Farms, and especially Stamos and Soto! Don’t hesitate. Book now!
