Stathis and his team were great with the kids. We loved feeding the goats, harvesting the vegetables, cooking and of course eating everything. Highly recommend this experience!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What an incredible experience we had at Mama Gaia! We were two families with children ranging from 4 to 20 years old, and every single one of us absolutely loved it. The beautiful setting, the delicious food made from ingredients grown right there on the farm, the hands-on experience, and above all, the wonderful people who made it all happen - everything about this place touched our hearts. It was joyful, inspiring, authentic, and simply unforgettable. Of course, we couldn’t leave empty-handed - we took home their amazing cheeses, olives, and, naturally, olive oil! - As we wished to take a little piece of this special place with us… Thank you, Nikoleta, Stasis, and Pota, for your warmth, generosity, and unforgettable hospitality. 🤍🤍

It started by feeding the goats, then we went on to collecting eggs and vegetables from the garden. After that we were showen and help to prepare the items for our meal which we then cooked. Sitting down to enjoy our meal under the olive trees with three caring people was an experience to remember. Zofia & Roy

The cooking class was fun, authentic, and easy to follow, even for tourists with no experience. We learned traditional recipes with fresh local ingredients and enjoyed every moment. The hosts were welcoming and made us feel like family. A perfect mix of nature, food, and Greek hospitality. Highly recommended!
