18th Century Watermill Cooking Experience in Potamia

ts (Potami: Greek for river), was once home to a total of 14 watermills, most of which have been dismantled or lie in ruins. Today, nestled along a serene water stream, lies the only restored watermill on Naxos island, which is estimated to be around 250-300 years old. Adjoined is the traditional house where the miller would reside and many inhabitants of Potamia would bring their dough to bake in one of the 4 huge wood-fired ovens the house was equipped with. Today we revive part of this cultural heritage, by offering our guests a unique culinary experience rooted deep in local tradition. In this hands-on experience, you will learn how to prepare 4 local dishes including delicious handmade pies with seasonal goods, stews and roasts, and mouthwatering appetizers. By the time the food is ready, the table will be set for you to enjoy the fruits of your labor, accompanied by some homemade wine!
