Cooking in Athens - We had so much fun doing this cooking class in a small group. The ambiance and atmosphere was really a great place to learn at. We made traditional Greek cuisine while drinking the local wine. At the end we were able to enjoy all of the foods that we had made. I would highly recommend it. Also the food was delicious!

An Unforgettable Cooking Experience in Athens - Elena and her mother were inviting, welcoming, and accommodating, and they were just pleasant to be around. The lemonade made from the tree in their yard was absolutely out of this world. Everything, from the ingredients to the final results, tasted so fresh and was easy to make. I definitely want to do it again.

Fun and educational experience - We spent the last day in Greece learning about local food and making delicious dishes from scratch. This experience was very hands-on and educational. The free wine was great for the adults and the small grouping allowed you to meet new friends from other places. My two teenage daughters had a ball. Would highly recommend!

Cooking class with Elena - Our cooking experience with Elena was unforgettable! She was so personable and organized. Everything flowed smoothly from one dish to the next. The menu was based on availability at a local farmers market. There were 8 people in our group and we were all easily accommodated at a work table with stools inside a beautiful old building with air conditioning. We all had a job to do for each dish. Then we had the option of eating our meal inside with the air conditioning or outside in the beautiful courtyard. We had an amazing experience and delicious food. Elena was able to work around a variety of dietary restrictions within our group. We would highly recommend!

Delicious and Delightful! - My teenage son and I had the best time in this class! Elena was a gracious and knowledgeable host. She involved everyone and gave easy to follow instructions. Everything we cooked was delicious! The setting was beautiful too — the courtyard and the room where we cooked. I could not recommend this experience more highly!

An amazing experience! - This cooking class was an amazing experience and by far our favorite part of our Athens stay! Elena and Gianna were so sweet and it was so much fun cooking and learning about traditional Greek dishes. All of the food was delicious and we had the best time. I can’t recommend this experience enough and I cannot wait to make these dishes at home!

Charming cooking class and lunch - Elena and Visili were wonderful instructors. The market walk for fresh produce lead to 5 savory Greek dishes. Two grotto rooms and an eating garden made the entire experience special. The conversation flowed easily. Definitely experience this activity when visiting Athens.
