Cretan Thyme

Discover the secrets and joys of cooking delicious local dishes, using fresh seasonal ingredients in a relaxed and fun way. Our cooking lessons are designed for those who love good food, wine, good company and nature as much as we do!Key feature of the Cretan diet is the high consumption of extra virgin olive oil. Olive oil has monounsaturated fatty acids, which decrease blood cholesterol levels and protect from cancer (Simopoulos & Robinson, 1998) and cell degeneration, due to its Ω-3 (linolenic) and Ω-6 (linoleic) fatty acids, concentration of vitamins E and A and more than 600 antioxidative substances.Wine consumption is protects against cancer and degenerative diseases and can decrease mortality rates from coronary diseases by 15 to 60% (Cordon 1983, Rimm 1991).

Makrynakis Nikolaos

My name is Nikos Makrynakis, I have been working with clay since 1984 at my studio in Myrsini, a small but beautiful village in Eastern Crete in Greece. I work with clay in traditional ways and also with the Raku technique. In order to give the opportunity to people to come into contact with the wonderful material of clay, I am offering a series of lessons for students of all levels.
