Our cooking class will make the authentic Greek Moussaka dish and Spanakopita pie by opening your phyllo pastry (Spinach pie).
We will make two classic traditional pies: Spinach pie and Milk pie. In addition to making homemade pies, we will prepare Greek island-inspired salad with cherry tomatoes aromatized with aged local vinegar and Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce.
Our kitchen is a few steps from Monastiraki square in the funky neighborhood of Psirri. I'll wait for you there, on the rooftop terrace with Acropolis views.
We'll start preparations and chat to break the ice and talk about Greek and Mediterranean cuisine; then, I'll show you the ingredients we'll need.
Then the cooking class can begin!
When we are finished, we will cook, eat, and savor our food together with amazing views of the Acropolis monuments and Parthenon temple lit at night and the vivid center of Athens overlooking the dome of Aghios Dimitrios church.

We had the best time at this Greek cooking class! Our chef, Spyros, was such a great teacher – fun, down-to-earth, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. He guided us through delicious recipes in a way that was easy to follow and engaging. Everything was so well organized from start to finish. The highlight was getting to enjoy the meal afterward on the rooftop with a stunning view of the Acropolis – truly unforgettable. My husband and I loved every moment and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Athens!

A great experience with Spyros this evening. This class and teaching/sharing his recipes is a passion. Come hungry and the spectacular views from the rooftop while eating the dinner you prepared. This is a must for anyone who wants to learn about the foods and ingredients that are cherished in Greek culture.
