Meet
Angelina (Mykonos)
Angelina's interest in cooking was sparked as a teenager as she watched her great grandmothers and mother cook in their Greek kitchen, she is a fourth generation cook! After her studying sociology Angelina worked as a journalist, has published a magazine and taught media in the past. 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 passionate about sharing 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.
In-home meal:
(2-25 guests)
Enjoy a traditional Greek meal at Angelina’s dining table, or outdoors when the weather is nice. Angelina highlights Mykonian produce and seafood caught off the island’s shores.
Your meal begins with a selection of meze such as taramosalata, saganaki (fried cheese), tzatziki, spanakopita, gigantes plaki (giant beans in tomato sauce), and hand rolled dolmades with vine leaves and herbed rice, followed by a fresh Greek salad.
For your main course, choose from dishes such as chicken giouvetsi with orzo in tomato sauce, lamb with potatoes, garides saganaki (prawns with tomato and feta), revithada (slow cooked chickpeas from nearby Sifnos), or traditional moussaka. Revithada and moussaka require advance preparation, so please request these at the time of booking.
End your meal with Angelina’s homemade baklava, which you will prepare together.
Cooking experience:
(2-25 guests)
Join Angelina in her kitchen for a hands-on Mykonos cooking class where you will learn to prepare a traditional Greek meal using local Cycladic ingredients and simple techniques you can recreate at home. When the weather is nice, the class may take place outdoors in a shaded barbecue area.
During this authentic Greek cooking experience, help Angelina prepare both savory and sweet dishes such as feta parcels with honey and sesame (or spanakopita when fresh spinach is available) and easy homemade baklava. You will also learn to cook a traditional main dish such as shrimp saganaki with tomato and feta, grilled calamari with basil pesto orzo, orzotto with calamari and summer vegetables, soutzoukakia (Greek beef and mint meatballs in tomato sauce), or fish fillets cooked in wine and tomato sauce served with roasted potatoes.
As you cook with a small glass of ouzo, Angelina will share stories about Cycladic island cuisine and Mykonian food traditions, explaining how simple local ingredients create deeply flavorful meals.
You will discover how less becomes more in the Greek island cuisine, turning the limited produce of the islands into a deeply satisfying meal. After the cooking lesson, sit down together to enjoy the Greek dishes you helped prepare.
Market visit:
(2-4 guests)
Meet Angelina in front of Vegera Restaurant, located across from St. Nicholas Church with the blue dome on the waterfront in Hora, the main town of Mykonos. From here, walk together to the nearby open air fishmongers and farmers market to discover local island produce.
Browse the stalls for fresh fish (when available) and seasonal vegetables, then stop at a local bakery for fresh bread or visit the butcher to pick up ingredients for your meze platter. Along the way, you will also stop at a small supermarket to learn about and purchase traditional Mykonian cheeses such as tyrovolia and kopanisti, which you will use to prepare small cheese pies during your cooking class.
The market visit lasts about 10 minutes, after which you will walk a few minutes, basket in hand, to Angelina’s home to begin your Mykonos cooking class.
Please note that the open air market closes at noon, so the recommended start time for the market tour is 10:00am. The market also operates with limited vendors on Sundays.
Notes:
Angelina’s private Mykonos cooking class, exclusively for your group, is available during the summer season from May through October and has limited availability.
For groups of 2–4 guests, the experience takes place at Angelina’s home in Hora (Mykonos Town). Please note that her home is located in a pedestrian area and can be reached only on foot, about a 5–10 minute walk from the Sea Bus stop or nearest taxi drop-off.
For groups of 5 or more guests, the class is hosted at Angelina’s home in Lia, where you’ll enjoy a more spacious setting for your experience. Round-trip transportation is included in the price. Please note that for larger groups, the experience lasts approximately 4 hours.

We cooked a wonderful meal, shared stories and got a taste of Greece in a very magical way! If you’re wondering what to do to get the authentic Greek experience, look no further! We love you Angie!

Authentic, fun, and unforgettable cooking experience in Mykonos
If you’re considering a cooking class in Mykonos, don’t hesitate—book with Angelina.
I joined her class on my last trip to Mykonos, and it was one of the most authentic and memorable experiences of the trip. Angelina is not only a skilled cook, but also incredibly knowledgeable about Greek food and culture, which she shares in a fun and engaging way.
She makes even complex dishes feel simple and approachable, without losing their authenticity. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and full of laughter—it felt more like being invited into a friend’s home than attending a class.
I left with new skills, great memories, and a deeper appreciation for Greek cuisine. Highly recommended.

I took a cooking class in Mykonos during my trip, and honestly, it was one of my favorite experiences on the island. I’m not a very experienced cook, but Angelina made everything feel easy and fun!
The location of the cooking class was in main town of Mykonos, which was really easy to get to.
The best part was sitting down at the end and eating everything we made together. Angelina is a wonderful host and we strongly recommend a class with her!!
