Excursion Rhodes cooking class tour at Rhodes

See and taste the rich allure of Rhodes on a combined driving, walking, and chef-led cooking/tasting experience that captures this ancient island’s unique flavour.

Scenic Drive and Old Town Walk
Your tasteful Rhodian survey begins with a scenic panoramic spin around town, departing from the pier by air-conditioned coach. This first hour reveals sights like Mandraki Harbour, beloved for its deer statues and ancient windmills, and sensational views over the island from a stop at Monte Smith, home to the Acropolis ruins.

Switching to pedestrian mode, enter Old Town on foot through the impressive archway at D'Amboise Gate. For the next half-hour, enjoy a guided wander through Europe’s largest active medieval enclave – a UNESCO World Heritage Site revered for its fabulously preserved cobblestone lanes and Street of the Knights, lined with 16^th and 17^th-century inns.

Greek Cooking Experience
Having feasted on multiple landmarks, we walk to a nearby restaurant for a nourishing session focused on the making and enjoyment of traditional Greek cuisine. Alongside a seasoned chef, learn how to prep, cook, serve, and savour a traditional meze – that delicious assortment of hearty appetizer plates the Greeks do so well. Depending on availability of ingredients that day, these might include tzatziki, eggplant salad, greek salad, moussaka, or savory soutzoukakia meatballs. To quench your thirst, local wine, beer, soft drinks, or water will be served . Post-feast, the walk back to the ship takes barely 15 minutes.
