Live the life.
The Aegean Table is a small, residential food retreat. We take over a private villa, cook together every day, explore the island, and eat long meals as a group. Expect honest food, good company, and a pace that lets you actually be somewhere. You will learn the simplicity and intricacies of greek cuisine, tips and tricks for making your own delicious recipes at home and a full recipe packet from the week.
-
All guests stay in the same house. No resort, no impersonal hotels, just a single home that becomes yours for the week, with the table at the centre of everything.
-
Up to ten guests maximum. The group is small by design. Enough people for a full table and a lively cooking sessions; few enough that you will know everyone by Tuesday.
-
All-inclusive. Every meal, every class, two guided excursions, all local transport during the retreat, and wine with dinner. Once you arrive, you don't need to think about logistics.
Where we go.
Our next retreat takes place in Crete, we chose this gorgeous island for its produce, its unique atmosphere, and the depth of its food culture. The Aegean Table is built to travel: future editions may take us to other islands, other coastlines, other tables worth sitting at. Guests who have been before will be the first to know.
Crete is next.
