Best cooking experience and meals ever!
Cannot say enough good things about our experience. Mrs. Juliana and interpreter Lazarus were both incredible. It was very hands on helping to prepare the numerous Greek dishes that we later enjoyed for lunch. All the ingredients are grown right there, from veggies, fruits and herbs to olives and olive oil. The wine was from the neighbor’s grapes. We cooked over an open wood fire and a wood fired oven; no electricity there. Food was the best that we have had in our week in Greece so far, truly a memorable meal. We enjoyed walking around the 3 acre farm with all the fresh vegetables. Some of the structures were from the 1600’s. You have not had a Greek salad to you have had Mrs. Juliana’s, so fresh and delicious. They do have a modern WC there.

Fantastic experience! Just like cooking with grandma when we were kids!
What an awesome experience. Mrs Juliana was a spectacular hostess and the atmosphere was unbelievable. Lazarus was of great assistance with language and environmental things. The food we cooked was so fresh tasting and we left so full we could hardly walk. If you have time, this is a definite stop you should make!

Best meal on Naxos
This was such a special experience and truly one of our favorite memories from Naxos. Our hosts made us feel so welcome, and sharing a beautiful meal we prepared together over the wood fire felt incredibly personal and authentic. We left with full hearts, full stomachs, and memories we’ll always treasure. Highly recommend!

Step away from the ordinary and taste the extraordinary!
Wow! Juliana met us with a warm smile and Lazzarus interpreted and provided much history of the acres of trees and gardens. We began with our peppers, zucchini and eggplants. Hollowed them, prepared rice, onions, garlic, tomatoes herbs and everything over a flame to surround the peppers to bake in the wood oven. We then seasoned our lamb and potatoes with fresh herbs and olive oil allnfarm to table. Also placed in wood oven. Onto preparing zucchini friiters and deep frying over flame. The best was my husband and I getting to roll the dough, fill it with cheese and oregano and pinch it to fry over the wood fire grill. Top with the best honey- superb. Next after removing our lamb, potatoes, stuffed veggies we let it sit while Juliana made us a greek salad. The lamb was very good, but the potatoes with citrus fruits and herbs were oustanding! The food was exceptional!!! Lazzarus delightful and Juliana warm and insteuctive with a few Bravos for my husband and I. With all the leftovers packed for us to enjoy later, Lazzarus walked us around the gardens and property. We returned to close out our palettes to a candied plump pear. Absolutely five star experience and one we will never forget! Kim and Justin

Nice experience but over rated
My husband and I booked this activity and it was a nice experience but over rated and over priced. I have a mixed review. Pros: The food was fresh and wonderful! The wine was good and we did learn how to make 2 delicious dishes. The mountainside setting was charming. Nikos was a good host and did well answering our questions. Overall, it was a delicious meal and we left very full and they even packed our leftovers which we enjoyed the next day! Cons: Mrs Juliana had a warm smile but did not speak any English and she and Nick spent a lot of time talking to each other in Greek which felt rude and made us feel like we were being left out . The setting was next to an ancient grove of olive trees but did not seem like a real working farm. I expected to see animals harvest veggies eggs etc. We did some cooking but items such as the dough for the bread was pre made. We both wanted to know how to make the bread dough! Also recipes were promised as paet of the experience - I’m still waiting to receive them…

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mykonos.
How much does Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class cost?
+
Prices start at $172 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mykonos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mykonos is not rushed.
Is Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mykonos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mykonos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mykonos and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mykonos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mykonos?
+
On Outty we rank every Mykonos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Mykonos: Brand-New Catamaran Cruise with Meal, Drinks & Transport, Tour and Wine Tasting in Mykonian Land, Mykonos Small Group Tour for Cruise Passengers — Port Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mykonos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mykonos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class?
+
Included: Private transportation; Alcoholic beverages; and All Fees and Taxes. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 51 listed pickup locations in and around Mykonos. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Organic Wood-fire Cooking Class wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
