Just book it!! - Highly recommend!!! Marilena was an excellent teacher who made everyone feel welcome and a part of the experience. The meal we prepared was delicious, one of the best meals we had in Greece. Marilena also emailed us the recipes we made plus others. She went above and beyond to make sure we were able to get transportation back to our accommodations . Five stars!!

Cook Authentic Greek in 3 Hours! - It was so much fun to be half way around the world only to meet people from not only my state but my actual hometown (and university). Marilena was a great instructor and her staff was very attentive.
