Fun and entertaining! - Fun and entertaining! The food was delicious. The only thing is it was too much, wish I could have taken it with me. Everything was tasty and enjoyable. The Entertainer was funny and welcoming. The music students amazing and the chef magnificent! The location is in a non-descript building, but luckily for me someone was outside and asked if I was looking for the dinner and show. Maybe a sign outside 🎭↗️ would help. Because as a solo traveler, I definitely would have not gone inside if someone hadn't been outside.

Wonderful experience - Delightful experience in an intimate setting. The performance was captivating and insightful. Musicians were soulful and professional. The food was authentic and generous. This was a bit of an unexpected gem of a find and I'd highly recommend this to any traveller who wants to get a proper taste of Greek culture (pun intended)

Fantastic in-road into Greek culinary culture. - I have attended two events hosted by Athens Living Museum, and three by their Creative Director Yiannis. They are fantastically accessible ways to involve yourself in Greek culture, food, history, and mythology. I love what Yiannis and his team does. I was particularly impressed with the acting versatility of Michális, the friendliness of Christina, and the helpfulness of Olivia when I had a scheduling conflict. I can't wait to see what they have in store next. I attended both Who Killed Callimachos and Around Greece in Five Dishes. Both were very engaging in different ways, and I don't have a bad word to say about either.

Greece in a nutshell - This was a fun evening. Michael put us at ease and we were 'transported' to five places as he took on a different persona to make us feel like we were experiencing various parts of Greece on our culinary journey. The food was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed this interactive experience

Hidden Gem in Athens - This was one of the highlights for our visit to Athens. The heartfelt drama added history to the presentation of a delicious selection of food. I cannot wait to try to duplicate some of the food I tasted at this event. It truly gave us a bit of history along with the tasting of the traditional food from Greece.

A wonderful experience! - This activity is a gem! An incredible blend of culinary art and theatre - you can tell the creators really care about the work and are excited to keep making it better.
This is a fun, well structured event. The pacing is excellent, the amount of time is just right, and experiencing different heritage foods of Greece was a great calibration for us as we ate at restaurants throughout our time.
I can't recommend enough - and you can trust you are supporting a local group of people making something special.

A Unique and Wonderful Experience - A fascinating blend of Greek history and regional dishes. The actor was top notch and the food plentiful and delicious. The room echoes, making it difficult to clearly hear the performer at times. Nevertheless, the value exceeds the price.
All in all, I highly recommend “Around Greece in Five Dishes” as a truly unique Athens experience and a wonderful evening.
