My husband and I were looking for a cooking class while on our honeymoon and we happened upon the pantry store is Chora who pointed us to their cooking class that their main location nearby. We are so extremely happy that we did because this was the most wonderful experience! The staff and owners here are so kind and welcoming we felt instantly cared for. The ambiance is stunning and they have so many wonderful local products. Our cooking class was private in their beautiful kitchen and was truly a wonderful price for how much joy we got out of it.
Upon entering we were met by the owner who is so kind and lovely. She taught our cooking class and is such a wealth of cooking knowledge. We were offered delicious coffee and juice when we entered. Not only did we learn so many incredible Greek recipes from her family, but she had some personal tips that were so helpful. We went through their gorgeous garden and picked fresh herbs and produce for the lunch. The cooking was made so easy and joyful by her teaching and the food turned out absolutely incredible! We cannot wait to bring these recipes home and make them again and again! While the food was cooking and after eating they allowed us to relax at their gorgeous pool for as long as we wanted which was so relaxing! If you’re looking for a place to cook and/or eat (and we’re sure staying here is great too) in Naxos, this is it! We felt so at home here and wish we could have spent more days at Pantry.
Thank you so much to everyone who made our day so special. We will never forget your beautiful establishment and we cannot wait to stay with you next time we...
Read moreWe booked the private cooking class at this venue after stumbling across The Pantry's shop/restaurant in the Old Town of Naxos. We were instantly welcomed with coffee when we arrived and were seated in a relaxing private area to start our class.
The host was very warm and friendly. It was clear the recipes she shared with us were not only well known on the island but also within her family for generations. We picked our dishes beforehand that we wanted to cook from a selection: Chicken and Naxos potatoes and Moussaka. We also made Greek Salad, Tzatziki and homemade bread from scratch.
We absolutely loved the class! She was very knowledgeable and was a very patient teacher. We even walked around the grounds to pick some homegrown herbs and vegetables to cook with. When everything was cooked, we sat down and enjoyed our feast with a glass of wine. We could even sit by the pool afterwards and sleep off all the delicious food we had just eaten.
I would definitely recommend this cooking class. It costs roughly €150 for 2 people, which is reasonable considering the class is private and you can use the hotel facilities afterwards. We look forward to eating the leftovers...
Read moreJust outside from the centre (hora) you can spend your day in this beautiful place combining swimming and a variety of selected food choices. From the entrance you are welcomed to a very cozy and beautifully designed place with all personnel always smiley and ready to serve your needs at all times. A very quiet and clean swimming pool that is also child friendly to bring kids of all ages to swim here, enjoying also a great menu of brunch and lunch plates, carefully selected and prepared, mixed with local self made products (honey, marmalade) that you can also buy. Something very important that I noticed is how clean the WC was, which was a major plus for us. The service of the food and beverages is also quick regardless of the time (peak or not). Price wise it’s not that costly considering also the island and the period (August), varying from us from 20€-30€ per adult person for all day staying but always up to your needs. Music is also very tasty and just as needed to keep you a great company. All in all the experience was wonderful for us and I definitely recommend it if you visit Naxos as there is also a free parking lot just outside that...
