The best way to discover Monemvasia’s traditional cuisine is to prepare (and eat) it yourself!

The ideal method to explore the traditional cuisine of Monemvasia is by participating in a half-day private cooking class at the serene garden of Liotrivi Mansion. Here, a skilled chef will introduce you to Greek gastronomy, revealing the secrets behind the region’s authentic recipes and unique flavors. The class offers two menu options, each featuring four or five courses including classic dishes like Greek salad, tzatziki, and doughnuts with honey. The main course choices encompass Gemista (stuffed peppers and tomatoes with rice), Giouvetsi (veal in tomato sauce with local pasta), or Kayanas (omelet with fresh tomato, vegetables, feta cheese, and olive oil).

While your meal is being prepared, take a guided tour of the Olive Oil Museum and wine cellar on the property. Learn about the production processes and sample various oils and wines. Then, savor the fruits of your labor with a delicious lunch paired with olive oil and wine from the estate. This private cooking class is suitable for all ages and can accommodate dietary restrictions with prior notice to your travel specialist.

Depending on your accommodations and recommendations from your travel specialist, a private transfer to the site can be arranged. The timing of the tour will be optimized to fit your schedule, considering operating hours and seasonal factors. If you have any specific constraints, please inform your travel specialist in advance.

The cooking class lasts for 3.5 hours and includes an exclusive chef, an English-speaking guide, cooking uniforms, all necessary fresh ingredients, and lunch. This culinary experience in Monemvasia promises to be a memorable and educational journey into the heart of Greek cuisine.
