My friends and I had a wonderful experience. Mara was very informative and lots of fun. A most enjoyable time we had. The other couple that was in our class were from the USA and we had lovely lunchtime conversation with them. I would recommend this experience to anyone going to Athens.

We had a wonderful time! The market tour was replaced with a stroll through Anafiotika, where Natalia shared stunning city views. The class was more about prepping than full cooking, but rolling grape leaves, meatballs, stuffed peppers, and spinach pies was so much fun—and everything tasted amazing. The garden setting to enjoy our food was beautiful. Highly recommend, just note it’s more appetizers than entrées.
Nice time was had by all!

The cooking class was fun-we learned quite a few tricks-Mara and Natalia were very friendly-could have done without the market tour-most of the shops were closed and the stalls were empty-we didn’t get any of our ingredients there.
