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.

In-home meal: (6-10 guests) All three meals of the day can be adjusted to your food preferences and dietary restrictions. Please inform us prior to your arrival about this and we will be happy to design together the ideal menu for all the members of your party.

Cooking experience: (6-10 guests) The Culinary Experience: Immerse yourself in the art of Greek cooking while enjoying a luxurious stay on the stunning island of Mykonos. Spend 3 or 7 nights in a dream villa overlooking the Aegean Sea, where a top Greek cook and food writer will guide you through hands-on cooking lessons. Learn to create traditional and modern dishes, from vegetarian delights to fresh fish and succulent meats, using simple, healthy ingredients. Dishes you'll learn to cook include the perfect moussaka, whole baked fish, succulent lamb chops, crispy spanakopita, Sifnos revithada, baklava, and a variety of dips, pies, and seasonal salads. Perfect for all skill levels, this culinary retreat combines relaxation, exceptional flavors, and the joy of hosting Greek-style gatherings. Unwind, cook, and savor the best of Greece in an unforgettable setting. During this culinary experience that includes a 3 or 7-night stay, you’ll optionally visit a traditional dairy producer to learn the art of making cheese at home and preparing Mykonos' signature onion pie. Angelina can also organize, upon request, an incredible day trip aboard a traditional wooden boat to the ancient island of Delos. Along the way, you’ll stop for swimming and snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters, followed by a delightful meal served onboard as you sail into the iconic Greek sunset, sipping wine and soaking in the magic of the Aegean Sea. These two trips are not included in the price. Ask us for more information and pricing.

If you want to experience true Greek hospitality and escape the crowded tourist traps, you absolutely must book this cooking class with Angelina! From the moment we arrived, Angelina welcomed us into her space with open arms, infectious energy, and a warm smile that instantly made us feel like family. Whether you are a seasoned home cook or a complete beginner, Angelina guides you with patience, humor, and brilliant culinary tips that we will definitely be using back home. We used local Mykonian ingredients—from fragrant fresh herbs and olive oil to local cheeses. I recommend Angelina for your next trip to Mykonos!

What a fantastic time with Angelina! Great authentic lessons and sharing the meal with her, and stories, cooking was all done. Highly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Angelina cooking in her well stocked kitchen. She explained all the techniques thoroughly. I love to cook and my husband does not but he tried to make a few things and with her guidance they were great. I love that she followed up by sending us her recipes which I intend to try at home. I feel we had a real authentic Greek experience that was a highlight of our vacation. Nancy
