Aegean Dreams on Mykonos

Cooking Class Vacation Details

Crisp white architecture set against the backdrop of cobalt blue water, stirred with a soft Mediterranean breeze…if this is what you envision when you think of Greece, then Mykonos is the place for you. Part of the Cyclades island chain, Mykonos is picture-perfect -- cubic-style buildings, narrow winding town alleyways, and its trademark windmills. Here, you will call either the Mykonos Grand or the Petasos Beach Resort, both stunning members of the exclusive Small Luxury Hotels of the World, home. Set on different sides of the island, each offers beach access and luxury accommodations.

Mykonos, Greece Culinary Vacations

The kitchen of Sakis restaurant is the perfect setting for learning how to prepare authentic Greek dishes. Your chef and instructor, Kostas, accompanied by your tour guide and interpreter, Sabina, will lead you through all the secrets of the Greek way of cooking. Each of the three cooking classes begins with an outing to the local market or shops, where you will learn to identify and select local products. At the end of each lesson you will savour your creations in a relaxing lunch.

In your free time, you may opt to explore the island on your own, or take advantage of the multitude of culinary and cultural excursion options available. This is one of the best ways to learn the Mykonian way of living and to be immersed into its history and tradition.
