5.00George was fantastic! He was prompt in following up with the details of the pickup 24 hours in advance, and he was very kind and accommodating the entire tour. He was knowledgeable about the food and techniques used, and he shared about the history of the culture of the food he was eating. He even taught us some greek words and phrases to use while we cooked! The sunset view was beautiful and the food was fantastic! One of our favorite tours on our Greek vacation :)
Highly recommend

5.00This was such an incredible class! Georgios was our host and was absolutely wonderful. He also translated for our chef, Francesca who was a delight. Georgios translated everything from Franchesca and took the time to explain the traditions behind the dishes we prepared. This was by far our favorite thing we did in Greece and is a MUST if you are visting Mykonos. The view while eating was second to none. Thank you Georgios and Franchesca!
Book this class ASAP!

5.00My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Georgios and Franchesca. Georgios called to confirm our meeting point and time and was a wonderful host. He was able to explain everything we did throughout the cooking class and was great to talk to. Franchesca was a wonderful Chef who prepared a delicious menu. All of the dishes were tradition, authentic Greek dishes. This was by far our favorite thing we did while in Greece. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Mykonos!

5.00This was an amazing experience, it wasn’t just a cooking demonstration as we actively participated in the preparation or our amazing lunch. We met new friends and all worked together with the chef and manager to prepare an amazing meal. The view is amazing and the wine was amazing. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone who enjoys food, wine, and laughter.
One of my favorite excursions I’ve ever done!

5.00This one probably my favorite part of our entire 7 day trip to Greece! From the communication, the beautiful and clean home, amazing hospitality from our guide and the chef, and incredible and delicious authentic Greek food—Highly recommend!! The food and wine overflowed and we made friends with our group. Will definitely book this excursion again if I’m ever back in Mykonos.
Great day with a small group

5.00I had high expectations for this excursion and it exceeded them. There were 6 people total. It is not a private home. They basically rent a small condo with an amazing view. The grandmother in the pictures demonstrates the cooking. The tour guide translated and gave lots of cooking tips and stories. We prepped, cut, made the meat, dough and tzatziki. All were fantastic. Nice meal on the patio and several glasses of wine through out. We had a great time. If arriving on a cruise, they typically port or anchor at the “New Port”. Shuttle buses run constantly to the “old port” (about 1km south) which is a few hundred meters walk from the shopping/dining district of Mykonos town. It’s not a big deal at all. We met at the police station of the old port.
Amazing authentic Greek cooking experience

5.00My wife and I had an incredible experience with chef Francesca and host Georgos. The hands on class was incredible. We prepared and cooked authentic Greek cuisine and sat watching the sun go down as we ate our meal. We highly recommend this experience to everyone.
