      Little museum
      When you go from Heraklion to Rethinmo you should visit to this little museum. You can see how settler lives. You can try local food and local wine. People who works there are pleasing and might helps you.

    We had so much fun at this class! Our instructor, Alexandria, was very kind, funny, and knowledgeable. First we had a tour of the museum, then we made dolmades, taziki, and a few other delicious dishes!
    We sat outside to eat, and the view was amazing. Highly recommend.

    I booked this cooking class as a surprise birthday present for my hubby while on holiday - and it was fabulous! The setting is just super cute and Evy was so lovely and informative throughout the museum tour and the cooking class.
    We completed several dishes, starters, mains and dessert, alongside lovely local wine and Raki. Getting to eat the food you prepped looking out over the wonderful scenery was just perfect.
    Thank you so much for an amazing day :)
