Review of Corfu’s Greek cooking class, market tour, olive grove, family olive press, oil tasting, and five-course lunch for $117.

“I would highly recommend this activity. Shopping in Corfu old town with George was fun as he took us to local shops and gave us some local history. We were then welcomed into his beautiful family home and had a wonderful time preparing and eating. We learnt lots about choosing good Greek ingredients, preparing delicious dishes and his family’s olive oil business. This is a great way to experience the beauty and hospitality of Corfu.”
