Hosted live by a local expert from Fira, the island’s bustling capital, this one-hour interactive experience invites food lovers of all ages to prepare a classic Santorini dish using fresh, authentic ingredients.
The class is designed to capture the essence of Santorini’s flavors—sun-drenched tomatoes, capers, fresh herbs, and locally sourced cheeses—ingredients shaped by volcanic soil and Mediterranean sun.

Whether it’s a savory fava dip, a fresh tomato keftedes (fried tomato balls), or other regional specialties, the experience is hands-on and engaging, ideal for anyone curious about Mediterranean cooking.

This cultural connection transforms the cooking session into a story of place and people. Given Santorini’s increasing popularity, this virtual format provides a rare, intimate window into its culinary soul without the crowds.
