TESTIMONIALS
I really liked the mixture of cooking and sightseeing–a perfect balance. Aglaia and Costas are so friendly and welcoming too. The week was perfect, every detail was taken care of, well planned and managed. It is a trip I will always remember!
(Rachel, ME, U.S.A.)
We chose the program because it was an all round, food and culture experience, not a “chef” situation. I wanted a program that we would learn how people eat at home.

PRESS
“After the hike, Costas takes me to his home, a stone cottage whose living area is packed with books and cooking utensils. “You walked”, Aglaia says. “Now you need replenishment”. On a wooden table beneath the olive trees, she sets out flatbreads, fresh-picked edible greens, smoked pork loin, fava beans, eggplant pie, and sesame and honey sweets, or pasteli, all with accompanying wines.”
-Bob Payne, Conde Nast Traveler
“If there’s a paradise on earth for a seafood lover like me, it is Kea –more specifically, the outdoor kitchen where Aglaia [Kremezi], a journalist and cookbook author, runs a school withe her husband, Costas Moraitis. The week I spent there […] was like a waking dream.”
