Meet Angelina (Ornos)

Angelina's interest in cooking was sparked as a teenager as she watched her grandmothers and mother cook in their Greek kitchen. Angelina has studied sociology, worked as a journalist, published a magazine and taught media but her biggest passion remains food. She has traveled around the world and it was during her time living in South Korea in the 90's that she started offering Greek cooking classes. An active bilingual food blogger, member of Slow Food International and a member of the Mykonos Gastronomic Club, Angelina is excited to share forgotten Greek and Myconian recipes featuring locally produced and seasonal ingredients with her guests. One of her passions is discovering traditional island cheeses, small wineries, and microbreweries and she loves sharing her insider knowledge with her guests.

What to expect

Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.

Cooking experience: (4-4 guests) Ride aboard a big RIB (speedboat) for 15 minutes to a beautiful non-touristy destination for your authentic private Greek cooking class. Depending on the winds, you may be whisked away to a sandy beach on Rhenia next to the ancient island of Delos (a UNESCO World Heritage site) or to a kaiki, a traditional Greek wooden boat with a fully equipped kitchen and shaded dining area docked where your cooking class will be conducted.

Angelina offers a morning brunch experience or evening sunset experience. For brunch, you can expect to cook eggs kayiana, feta parcels or spanakopita, and gigantes beans which you will enjoy along with Greek yogurt with honey, nuts and fruits and coffee, tea, fresh orange juice or wine.

If you book the evening experience, your host Angelina will show you how to prepare and serve delectable Myconian and Greek meze (small plates) and how to pair them with delicious Greek wine. This is a wonderful way to experience a serene, spectacular beach location away from the crowds of Mykonos and feel the ancient glory of the area! With a glass of ouzo or Greek wine in hand, learn to cook 3-5 dishes that you will feast on later. Your evening menu may include dishes such as mostra (Mykonian bruschetta), keftedakia (Greek meatballs), tzatziki (yogurt and cucumber dip), melitzanosalata (Greek baba ganoush), gigandes (giant beans in a tomato sauce), Greek salad with watermelon and shrimp saganaki (shrimp in a fresh tomato sauce topped with feta cheese).

Bring your own gear or borrow from the boat and feel free to swim and snorkel in the beautiful waters before your meal. You will return via the RIB to the Ornos port after your culinary adventure!

Notes: Total price is the same for 2 or 3 people as it would be for a group of 4. For groups 5+, please email us at reservations@travelingspoon.com so we can offer you our group rates. Final destination varies due to meltemi, the north winds of the Aegean but the captain and the crew will ensure that you sail in peace and tranquility enjoying a glass of cool Greek wine, as you land on a southern beach of Mykonos or on Delos island.

The cost for a child is the same as for an adult as the experience cost includes the cost of the boat ride. This experience is not suitable for an infant 0-5 years.

Brunch menu and evening mezze menu are different. Wine is included in the cost of your food experience.

Languages spoken: English, Greek
