Do Not Miss This - Where to begin. Dionysia was lovely. Her communication from the very second I booked was perfection and she met us at the door. Our family of 7, ages 17-54, each had commented what a wonderful experience they had. All of the foods we made were from scratch, not only did we get some Greek history on the things were making, we got some family history that made our meal that much more interesting. The pace of the preparation was on point and the evening flowed very well. (So did the wine:). The food was delicious! We left stuffed and had leftovers. Our entire family would give 10 out of 10 on this experience. It is a "should not miss" when in Athens.

Amazingly unique cooking class in Athens - Dionysia was a great host picking us up at our hotel due to a taxi strike and sharing information about Athens while we drove. We were then joined by one more “student” for the gyros class and we really had a blast. She explained her cooking philosophy, the choice of ingredients, why to do certain things and made the entire experience super casual and fun. The gyros were delicious but most importantly we had an amazing time all the time. There were even some left overs :) we really loved it and hope more people are willing to explore this very unique experience in Athens.

Family, Food & Fun - We celebrated Father's Day while on vacation with a cooking class. Having traveled quite a bit and taking multiple cooking classes, I have to say, this was definitely one of the best. Dionysia arranged transportation to and from our AirBnB. She made us feel so welcome as she and her husband prepared a traditional Greek breakfast for us. As we laughed our way through the class, the instructions were very easy to follow and by the end we all felt confident in our abilities to recreate this meal for family and friends back home. Everything was delicious, and we made so much food, Dionysia sent us home with our leftovers to enjoy.

Great Cruise Cooking Excursion - We were in Athens for the day off of a cruise and had no interest in going to the sightseeing areas. We booked the Pita Gyros cooking class and couldn't be happier that we did. Included pick up and return to the ship terminal was flawless and on time. The class ended up being just the two of us, so it was very personal, laid back and fun. Cleanliness and food safety were on display throughout the class. Everything was very hands on and the focus was on how you would repeat the processes after returning home. Including how to tweak the recipes to fit different tastes and differences in products used. We will definitely return to try some different recipes on any future trips to the Athens area.

Cooking Fun for everyone - What a fun experience! Dionysia was easy to work with from the very beginning. Our family had so much fun learning to make gyros, pitas, drinking Greek wine, learning all about Greek food and spending the Dionysia and her family. Her outdoor courtyard was a beautiful setting for the evening and the guff was delicious. She shared recipes with us and we can’t wait to try the recipes at home. Thanks for an unforgettable evening!

Just book it!! - Highly recommend this experience. Our first night in Athens was perfect cooking with our new Greek cousin. We made chicken gyros and then enjoyed delicious Moussaka. A perfect night to remember.
