Cooking Workshop
Food is an integral part of Greek culture. And at Porfyron, we take great pride in highlighting the rich flavors of local and seasonal cuisine. Our commitment to authenticity is reflected in the fact that many of our guests return time and time again to enjoy our traditional dishes, fostering a unique and lasting connection with us.
As a token of appreciation for the love we’ve received, we wanted to share some of the Zagorian culinary traditions. This inspired us to create the Porfyron Cooking Workshop – a relaxed, hands-on experience limited to small groups. During this workshop, you’ll learn authentic Greek cooking techniques and recipes.
The session takes place in our kitchen or on the terrace, where we explore a mix of well-loved and forgotten, old-school Greek dishes. After an engaging 2-hour lesson, you’ll enjoy the delicious creations you’ve prepared together, served at the dinner table.

Mushroom Hunting
Every great adventure begins with a quest, and in Zagori, the quest for mushrooms unfolds during the spring and autumn seasons. When the conditions are right, these delectable gifts of nature emerge across our mountains, waiting to be discovered.
And so, the hunt begins! Join us for a scenic walk to one of our secret mushroom spots, where we’ll search for and gather seasonal edible mushrooms together. Along the way, you’ll uncover a hidden side of Zagori that many miss. Breathtaking landscapes, serene forests, and peaceful moments spent beneath the trees, all adding to the magic of this tranquil hunt.
If we’re lucky enough to beat the boars to the mushrooms, we’ll return to the hotel to cook our fresh finds. There, we’ll savor the flavors of these forest treasures together, making the experience even more memorable.
