Authentic Wood-Fired Cooking
Experience the deep flavors of slow-cooking in our authentic stone wood-fired oven. As the aroma of fresh bread and roasting local delicacies fills the air, you’ll feel the true essence of Naxian hospitality
Hands in dough, Eyes on the Sea
Cook with us in the heart of Naxos, surrounded by golden valley and the blue horizon of the Aegean.
Ηands-on experience
In Greek tradition, zymoma (kneading) is not only about bread. It is a symbol of care and patience, of bringing ingredients together and shaping the flavors of traditional recipes with love.
Roll up your sleeves for a unique hands-on experience. We use Zea flour, an ancient grain known for its nutritional value since antiquity. You will learn the rhythmic art of kneading your own individual loaf, a ritual that connects you to the roots of Greek tradition.
Knead, bake and cook together, then share everything
around a long Greek table with views of the valley and the sea.
