Meet Antonia

Antonia has been hosting food tours in Athens and the surrounding areas for a few years now. She has always been fascinated by the way food connects people and loves how, through food, you can learn so much about the history and culture of a place. Inspired from a young age by her mother’s traditional cooking, Antonia sees food as a universal language of love and community. Through her Athens cooking classes, she invites guests into her home to explore the flavors, stories, and cultural richness of Greece, using fresh local ingredients and timeless recipes passed down through generations.

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: (1-5 guests) Join Antonia in her family home in Kato Sounio, near the Temple of Poseidon, for a hands-on cooking class. She’s excited to share her Greek comfort food and cherished family recipes with you. Begin your experience with a tasting of typical Greek produce sourced from local producers - cheese, cured meats, olives, fresh bread, Greek yogurt, and honey. Then, step into her home kitchen for a 1.5-hour cooking class. You can choose between two options: a spanakopita workshop or a traditional Greek cooking class. In the spanakopita workshop, you’ll learn to make Greece’s beloved spinach and feta pie from scratch - kneading the dough, rolling it out, preparing the filling, and baking it to golden perfection. Alternatively, in the traditional cooking class, you’ll prepare classic dishes such as Greek salad, meatballs, and semolina halva. As you cook, Antonia will share stories, tips, and family secrets passed down from her mother, offering a deeper insight into Greek culinary traditions. After the class, sit down together to enjoy the delicious meal you’ve helped prepare.

This cooking experience in Athens is perfect for travelers looking to explore local Greek food and for anyone interested in learning how to cook authentic Greek cuisine.

Notes:
1. Antonia can accommodate a lactose free, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan diet, if informed in advance.
2. 1-2 glasses of wine is included in the cost of the experience.
3. If you require transportation from Athens, please reach out directly to your host to make arrangements. She lives in Sounio (postal code is 19500), about an hour from Athens and a 2-minute drive from Temple of Poseidon.
