EXCELLENT Based on 28 reviews Adam Kavalier2024-12-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible experience at Veggera. Paraskevas and Sophia were wonderful hosts. They welcomed us onto their farm and into their home. We cooked a delicious multi-course meal together. We visited their animals and garden and learned about how they make olive oil, cheese, honey and wine. Our two kids ages 4 and 6 enjoyed it thoroughly, it was nice to have them learn about all of the natural and organic ways of small farm production. We’ve been coming to Crete for years and this was certainly a highlight. We highly recommended it! Murray Glimsdale2024-12-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Es war sooo schön auf der Veggera Farm! Ein rundum perfekter Tag - Bestes Wetter, eine großartige Familie, eine Gastfreundschaft, die man selten so gesehen hat und ein fantastisches Essen. Das war mit Abstand der Beste Kochkurs! Wir kommen Euch bald wieder besuchen. Bis bald! Jen Arricale2024-10-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This day exceeded our expectations. It was so fun & interesting to learn about the farm life in a Cretan shepherd village. We were treated to the most delicious & fresh food imaginable- and played a big part in its preparation. Milking a goat is harder than it looks! Also very fun once you get the hang of it. Such a relaxed pace & the warmth of the family made our day a memory of a lifetime. Beautiful people sharing their traditional village life. What a special thing. Shauna2024-10-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such an amazing evening at the Veggera Farm! Paraskevas and Sophia and the whole family welcomed us and made us feel at home, we explored the farm, met the family, picked fresh organic products including fresh walnuts (which I love!), we tried and tasted a whole range of organic food and drinks too all from the farm, we then cooked with all ingredients that came from the farm, we learned how to make traditional Cretian dishes and then had dinner with the family. Paraskevas took his time with us to explain all of the products and the Cretian way of life. It was a very special experience that I will treasure. Thank-you again to Paraskevas, Sophia and the whole family for hosting our visit, it was great! Theo N2024-10-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best!!!!! Victoria2024-09-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is easy to say that visiting Veggera Farm was our favorite part of our trip to Crete. Paraskevas and Sophia were amazing hosts. We cooked delicious food with ingredients from their garden and learned about their culture. I recommend this to everyone and would love to come back one day.
