Step into a village home and spend a slow, joyful morning learning how Cypriots have made their most beloved sweets and savory bites for generations. Together, prepare daktyla and freshly baked olive pies (eliotes), using simple ingredients, traditional techniques, and stories passed down through families.

Knead, fold, shape, fill, bake, and fry, just like grandmothers did, while the house fills with the aromas of cinnamon, rose water, and warm dough. As everything cooks, enjoy a small mpoukoma with local village coffee, tasting the first bites of what you’ve created.

You’ll also receive a printed recipe card and a video link so you can recreate the dish at home without writing anything down.

Leave not only with recipes, but with the feeling of having spent time in a real village kitchen, laughing, learning, and sharing flavors that define Cyprus.
