My friend and I recently had the pleasure of attending a traditional cooking class at Kafedena’s Village in Mykonos, and it was truly one of the best experiences of our trip. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by our lovely hosts, who instantly made us feel like part of the family.
The class wasn’t just about learning to cook authentic Mykonian food, but also about immersing ourselves in the rich cultural heritage of the island. We began by gathering fresh, local ingredients, many of which were grown right in the village. Our instructors were knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating stories about the history and significance of each dish we prepared.
The hands-on experience was fantastic. We learnt to make a variety of traditional dishes, including Mykonian salad, meatballs, and fresh tzatziki. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and there was plenty of laughter and fun as we cooked together. What made the experience even more special was the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of our labour at the end of the class, accompanied by local wine and local beer and great conversation.
The setting was picturesque and authentic, offering a perfect glimpse into village life on Mykonos. The entire experience was well-organised, and it was evident that the team at Kafedena’s Village put a lot of love and care into making this class a memorable experience for everyone.
I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Kafedena’s Village, and I can’t recommend it enough! The experience was truly exceptional, thanks to the incredible family —Ioanna, Anna and family friend Dora. They share a wealth of knowledge about Greek cooking, passed down 300+ years through generations , including cherished recipes from their great-grandmother Irene.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making us feel like part of their family. We learned easy and healthy family recipes that were not only delicious but also rich in tradition. The highlight of our time there was dancing and celebrating the vibrant Greek culture, which turned our cooking class into a spiritual and cultural journey.

Read moreI wanted to find a Greek cooking experience for my birthday and was SO excited to start the day with Dora, Ioana (Joanna) and Anna. Their incredible hospitality and warmth has made this my favorite experience in Greece! They kindly accommodated my dietary restrictions. We started with a delicious sweet treat and coffee, learned about the history of Mykonos and their deep rooted family history, visited their family church, prepared the fresh and homegrown ingredients, cooked the food, and enjoyed a delicious meal!! They brought out a yummy dessert, sang Happy Birthday, and taught us a traditional Greek dance! We have friends now in Greece who have opened their home and hearts, we’d love to come back.
