The workshop begins before the dough is even touched. Guests are introduced to our historic flour mill, where the grain is ground using traditional methods. This part of the experience connects participants with the full journey of bread from grain, to flour, to dough and to the final bake and taste. Our team explains each step and answer questions, turning a simple workshop into a true cultural story.
We offer traditional workshop experiences
-Bread
-Kalitsouni
-Sfakian Pie
-Local Cretan flavours
All of them include hands-on preparation, baking and tasting.
The full workshop experience lasts approximately 4 hours
• 2.5 hours hands-on workshop
