“This was clearly the Highlight of our Greece Vacay. The grandma Jaja and our host Yannis (I hope the names are spelled correctly) shared an intimate view into their culinary Rhodian culture with us. We havent just learned preparing a hand full of delicious comfort food recipies, but leave inspired by outstanding authentic Greek hospitality. Our minds, bellies and hearts are overflowing. Thanks again!”

“My partner and I did a cooking class through Rhodian Roots at Emponas View with the best hosts ever. We cooked all the local cuisine and were very looked after. It was a real cultural experience and felt like we were part of a family. All the dishes were exceptional, and the experience was the highlight of our two week trip on Rhodes island. A must do for authentic culture, and authentic people. Thank you, we hope to return one day.”

“We learned a lot about Greek cuisine from very dear people.
We were allowed to actively snip, cook and eat together.
The warmth of the Greeks was wonderful.”

“We took part in a lovely cooking project where we learned to prepare traditional dishes from Rhodes. The lady who guided us through the recipes was incredibly kind, patient, and warm-hearted, she made the whole experience feel like cooking with family.

This is a beautiful initiative by a group of young people, full of passion and love for Rhodian culture. It’s perfect for families, couples, or friends looking to connect with local traditions in a hands-on, joyful way.

Highly recommended a heartfelt and delicious memory!”
