5.00Such a great experience. Our hosts were so personable and made the experience great in every sense. We were in Athens a short time before heading back home and this was the experience we needed
A Must Do in Athens

5.00My husband, our 8-year-old daughter, and I had an amazing time. Gyros may be one of Greece’s most famous foods, but making it yourself and enjoying it fresh is a completely different experience that we would recommend to everyone. This didn’t feel like a typical cooking class at all—it felt more like being welcomed into someone’s home. Even the pita is made from scratch, and that alone makes such a huge difference. It gave us a real appreciation for what authentic gyros is supposed to taste like. The entire atmosphere was relaxed, warm, and personal, with plenty of natural conversation about food, family, and Greek culture throughout the class. Our daughter especially enjoyed being involved in the cooking process and learning about traditional Greek cuisine in such a fun and engaging way. Dionysia and the team are incredibly kind and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely love sharing their culture and passion for cooking with their guests ❤️ We left with full stomachs, wonderful memories, and new skills that we’ll be excited to use at home. If you’re visiting Athens, don’t miss this experience—it was one of the highlights of our trip!
Authentic local cooking experience

5.00Best cooking class we’ve taken!!!! They weren’t kidding when they said it’s like cooking with your Greek cousin. We absolutely adored working with Minas. My husband and I have taken a bunch of cooking classes and this one was by far the most hands on from start to finish and we will definitely be able to recreate these at home. It was really nice to spend the evening with an actual local and get a true family owned experience. Also, any food that you don’t eat you can take home. If you don’t take it home, they donate it!! It was an amazing experience and great people.
Fantastic gyros!

5.00We had such an amazing time during the cooking class. We learned how to make gyros and the process was so fun- the hosts made it very easy to learn and made jokes and shared stories the entire time. It was one of my favorite experiences on vacation and would recommend it to anyone that enjoys cooking, eating, or trying something new! The gyros were absolutely delicious and we were with such a fun group and amazing hosts!
A Great Evening of Food and Fun

5.00The class was fantastic! The instructor and her family run the class. It was well organized, started on time and they worked well as a team. The instructor is an excellent communicator; her instructions were easy to follow and clear. Even for someone who might not have much experience in the kitchen. She has a great sense of humor and had the ability to make everyone feel like they were part of her family and participating in preparing a family meal just like they would in Greece. The whole experience felt very authentic. The food we prepared was excellent. Everything was made from scratch. Everyone was able to make their own pita bread, sauces, dessert and assist with seasoning the meat. The ingredients were fresh, the seasonings were flavorful and better than we get in the US. If you like great food and unique food experiences, you’ll like this class!
Authentic cooking experience

5.00My family of four enjoyed the gyros cooking class. The staff were excellent. They were very patient with all our questions, very knowledgeable, and great teachers. Our food turned out incredible, and we felt like it was an authentic experience. We highly recommend this for a family activity!
So good it keeps a jet lagged family engaged

5.00We loved this! Did it on the day we landed so we’re really jet lagged, but did not feel tired through any of it. We made EVERYTHING we ate. The pork, pitas, dips, dessert…so good! My teenage kids weren’t too keen on the menu to begin with, but they ate it all. The owners keep you engaged through the entire thing. We learned about family customs and history of some of the Greek food as we were cooking. If you don’t eat all you cook (cause you cook A LOT), you can take it with you. Or they donate it to those in need in the community. Would highly recommend to anyone!
Great food, great entertainment

5.00I cannot say enough good things about the experience we had in this cooking class. We have taken cooking classes in other cities in other countries and this one I would have to say is the very best from the moment we arrived throughout the class into the time we finished we were treated more like family or very good friends over to someone’s house for lunch except that we all sat in the kitchen and cooked together. I wish I could give it more stars and I highly recommend this family in this business to anyone that wants to really enjoy a cooking class creating good food and making new friends.
