if you are looking for an authentic taste of Greece that goes beyond the tourist trail, book this experience immediately! This wasn't just a cooking class; it was a genuine afternoon spent in a Greek home, surrounded by the smells, stories, and warmth of a local family. From the moment we walked in, our host made us feel like old friends. We started the day perfectly with a glass of ouzo and a platter of the most delicious olives, creamy Graviera cheese, and crunchy barley rusks. It was the ideal way to settle in and get to know the other "cooks" for the day. The 2-hour hands-on class flew by. Our host’s passion for her family's recipes was contagious. She didn’t just teach us how to cook; she taught us why, sharing little tips and secrets from her grandmother’s kitchen that you simply wouldn't find in a cookbook. We learned to make two traditional dishes from scratch, and the feeling of watching the ingredients come together under her expert guidance was incredibly satisfying. The absolute highlight, however, was sitting down to enjoy the feast we had prepared. The flavors were out of this world—fresh, vibrant, and comforting all at once. It was, hands down, the most authentic and delicious meal we had during our entire stay in Athens. I left this experience not only with a full stomach and a smile on my face, but also with the confidence and new skills to recreate these incredible dishes at home. If you want to connect with Greek culture through its food, this is the experience for you. Don't miss it!

The experience of learning to cook a meal in the home of a local is a perfect way to immerse yourself in the culture. Our cooking class in Athens was just that. Ioanna opened her home to strangers (us) and by the time we left we were laughing like old friends. Thank you Ioanna for your hospitality.

We spent our final evening in Greece with Antonia preparing a simple, delicious meal while discussing all things food and history. She is a wealth of knowledge on ingredients, cooking methods and the geographic region. We learned a lot while tasting local cheese, olives and spirits, and while grating, chopping and mixing. We would definitely recommend Antonia as a host if you are looking for a cultural experience in Athens. We will remember the lovely evening when we experiment with the recipes in our own kitchen at home.

Oh my God! This was by far the most fun I have had in Athens. Christina taught my husband and I (and 3 others in our group) how to prepare authentic Greek phyllo dough from scratch in her kitchen. She will teach you to make the ubiquitous flaky Greek dough - starting with flour and water! - and together you will prepare a traditional pie. She will teach you, step by step, how to make the pie filling using seasonal ingredients like wild spinach and other greens and a variety of fresh cheeses (you might mix the filling in the sink since it is her biggest receptacle!). You mix the dough, learn to roll it into paper-thin sheets on her dining table, and layer the pie with the filling. She will show you how to carefully lay the delicate sheets of phyllo in the pan, which results in a light, crispy pie.

This was the highlight of our trip to Greece! Katerina welcomed us into her home like we were family. She showed us how to prepare several traditional Grecian dishes that were just amazing. As a travel advisor, I have had many incredible experiences throughout our beautiful world and this private cooking class is among the most memorable.

Yiota was our guide and she was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about the food, Greek history, Art, local politics, etc. She was very easy to speak with. We went to 4 different locations that we never would have found on our own. The food was varied, delicious, and culturally interesting. We even went back to one place the next day. This tour with Yiota was the highlight of our visit in Athens. My wife and I highly recommend this tour.

Incredible experience and completely welcoming. Angelina and her family are gems. Very generous, kind, and accommodating. We felt like part of their family!
