★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,101 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Walk to Athens Central Market, then prepare tzatziki, spanakopita, dolmades, stuffed eggplant, and portokalopita with a Greek home cook. Hosts such as Vasia and Thanos keep the four-hour class lively, practical, and social, with wine, recipes, and a family-style meal at the end.

“Set menu. It’s family style so if you are not into groups this isn’t for you. The food was good and the recipes were not difficult, but you need to purchase a book to get them. It goes really fast and we had fun meeting all of our co-cookers. The instructor was very funny and her staff really kind and helpful. Overall, very enjoyable and recommend!”

“The freshest food I had in my Greece vacation. The master chef Alexandra was such a loving person, patiently gave us the instructions and also guided us very well. The best part is that all of the food are vegan so if you’re allergic to any meat (I’m allergic to any meat other than chicken) you don’t have to worry about that. It felt like a bunch of friends gathering and cooking together and not like a cooking class. If you’re reading this review, just simply give it a shot, don’t have second thoughts or hesitate. I will definitely do this again the next time I’m in Greece.”

The ladies were very good at sharing their passion and getting in touch with the children. One of the musts of our trip, with additional works that will be exhibited preciously in our house.Auto-translated”
