Athens market walk and hands-on Greek cooking class with wine. Cook tzatziki, spanakopita, dolmades, then leave with recipes.
“I loved it! As a solo traveller, I was able to make great connections. Also, we got to take the left overs, so for me it was enough to have dinner twice!”
Athens market walk plus a hands-on cooking class at The Greek Kitchen. Make dolmades, spanakopita, tzatziki, and enjoy wine.
“So much fun! The market visit was nice and they accommodated me as a vegetarian. The cooking class was paced just right and we got to talk and ask questions as we were cooking. All of the food was amazing and fun to cook it together as a community of people who didn’t know each other before. Highly recommend this activity!”
Hands-on Greek cooking class in Santorini in Megalochori. Make tzatziki and pasticio, get recipes, and enjoy local wine.
“This was a very relaxed and enjoyable cooking class. Christos was easy to understand and clear on his instructions. He allowed everyone to have a chance to participate and the food was delicious!”
Pick fresh ingredients at a family farm in Potamia, cook Naxian dishes, sip local wine, then enjoy music and Greek dancing.
“Fantastic experience! It was amazing to walk around the farm and surrounds, and Anna was a charming and exceptional host. Highly recommend.”
Small-group Greek cooking in Athens with a chef-led lesson, then a rooftop 3-course dinner with Acropolis views in the Psirri area.
“We had an AMAZING time. The food was delicious and the chef did a great job making this a memorable experience. I was impressed at the amount of dishes we made (it was a 5 course meal!). After we finished cooking our dishes were brought up to the restaurant (which had a beautiful view of the Parthenon. 10/10 highly recommend!”
Hands-on Athens cooking class at a city-center taverna, then a 3-course dinner with Acropolis views. Includes recipes and 1 drink.
“Relaxed cooking class suitable for families. We learned to make spanakopita and dolmas among other dishes. Lucy was very engaging and made everyone feel at home and enjoy the experience--even the reluctant husbands whose wives insisted they come to the class! Our home cooked meal was delicious and we learned a lot about Greek cooking traditions. We came away with all the recipes from our meal, too! A very pleasant way to spend an otherwise hot afternoon in Athens!”
Small-group Cretan cooking in Chania’s White Mountains, with garden herbs, olive stories, and a dinner of cheese, wine, and jar desserts.
“It was the highlight of our trip. Every interaction we had was positive. The whole “staff” was extremely kind and I put staff in quotes because it really just felt like we were visiting distant family. The food was great. Not very often do you get to sit at a table with a bunch of folks from around the world and share a meal. Incredible time!”
Farm-to-table Naxos cooking class at Basiliko, organic ingredients, village walk, wine and music, then a full meal with Greek dancing.
“Fabulous experience! We not only got to cook and eat lots of delicious food, but also toured the family farm, learned about agriculture in the region, and got to dance and break plates after dinner (and plenty of wine). Keep in mind that the location is out in the countryside, and you will need to arrange for a ride if you don't have a car.”
Athens Greek cooking class with a local chef in Psirri. Make moussaka and pies, then eat rooftop dinner with Acropolis views at night.
“Our chef, Stam, was terrific. He was patient, knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. He shared stories about living in Greece. He shared stories about the food we cooked and why they are family favorites. Highly recommend. Also, dinner on the rooftop after cooking was great!”

Meet farm animals and pick eggs, learn olive oil, then cook Naxian dishes over a wood-fire feast with local wine.
“This was an exceptional farm to table experience! My son had a wonderful time learning about all the farm animals, and how the olive trees, the olives get collected to make olive oil oil and how the family makes wine during the winter!! Then the cooking portion began and there were two other families that participated as well and it just was so much fun. Niko couldn't have been more kind and this could not have been a better experience. I highly recommend this for a wonderful experience.!”
