Go introduction to Greek vegetarian cooking. Touring the market first was a wonderful way to acclimate to the culture. The guide and translator, Nina, was very knowledgeable and accommodating.

Our host Nina was amazing. She took us to the market to shop and was very informative along the way, pointing out areas of interest. The cooking class was in a fun atmosphere. They gave us the recipes so that we can make the items at home. The chef was very good and friendly. We got to eat the food when we were done cooking, seated at a table in the restaurant. Very Fun! Would highly recommend!!!

First of all - the chef even he could only speak greek was top . The restaurant was very cute and the food good - so was the cookingexperience- now the rest: the guide a lady ran with us through monastiraki - it was quiet a walk in the heat - she was only talking to the 2 people who literally ran with her in front of our group - no explanation - no show or telling us ehat ww pass or anything. Only personal things what she likes or dislikes - and allover she was rough and inappropriate appearance. Xtreme personal timepressure and not prepared. Had not enough receipebooks as promised and told us to download it for this money overall not worth it
