Had a lovely time learning from chef Alex and her two “assistants”, Natalia and Ourania (sorry if I’ve butchered that spelling!). Chef Alex guided us making our own dolmades, spanakopita, meatballs, and tzatziki while the Ourania made sure our glasses were always filled! Dinner in the backyard was so so lovely. Highly recommend!
If you love Greek food, this is a Must!

We had such a wonderful time at the Athens Cooking Class! Our tour group learned to make several delicious Greek classics. It was hands-on, fun, and easy to follow. The instructors super friendly and gave us all detailed recipes at the end. We ended the evening with a beautiful dinner in the garden. A fantastic experience, I highly recommend!
Wonderful.
