A very fun cooking and Greek lesson in a beautiful space. The recipes were easy to follow and the student demos had us engaged without pressure. Our end result was tasty and I look forward to trying them at home.
Our Chef instructor was engaging and fun and ensured we all felt included in the class. The food was amazing!
Spyros was excellent. We have been to other cooking classes but this was the most organized and interactive class we have ever attended. The menu was well planned and the outcome was a delicious meal in a beautiful rooftop setting. It was both educational and fun.
A fabulous cooking class! Our engaging instructor shared wonderful insights into Greek cuisine, its history, and its ingredients. He guided our group, with participants from all over the world, as we prepared an authentic Greek meal of appetizers, a main course, and dessert.
The instruction was organized, engaging, and fun. After cooking, we enjoyed our dinner served in courses in the rooftop garden. Highly recommend!
What a great experience. So much fun, good food and Chef Speros was a great teacher. We spent the evening cooking, enjoying a wine pairing and then ended with a rooftop 5 course dinner.
We ended our 2 week tour of Greece with this cooking class. It was a fantastic way to end our trip and we took home some great recipes and new cooking skills! Spyros was a fun and patient teacher! Highly recommend taking his class!
Chef Stamos was very informative! Getting to do the class on the rooftop was wonderful. The food ended up being quite delicious. It’s a fairly large group and while they take food safety into consideration if you are sensitive this likely isn’t the tour for you. I did this class in May 2026.
Very educational. Chef talked about the history of the food as well as concept of cooking. Also very fun.
The class was very fun! Spiros, our instructor, was really funny and engaged all the class members. I would definitely recommend this class. Plus we learned a lot and the food was delicious.
We really enjoyed the vibes and the instructor was great!
Classic dishes. I personally prefer the greek salad over the Aegean, but overall highly recommended.
Must do experience.Restaurant was very classy so it felt like a first class experience from the moment we walked in.Excellent end products .We did the wine pairings at extra cost but worth it.Chef was fun and atmosphere relaxed.
Really enjoyed this experience! Stam was great and very informative! I highly Recommend taking the class and learning to make Greek dishes that are delicious!
What a fun way to end our week in Greece. Chef Costas did an expert job of taking our whole class through the recipes for our dinner allowing each of the class member (about 14 of us) to play a role and then helping us each do our own spinach pies. The food was just amazing. And then going to the rooftop to eat everything we prepared while the sun set was perfect!
Great fun, combined with good food and lots of cooking tips.everyone contributed and got to know each other through the event. Best cooking class we have taken.
This was definitely a high point of our time in Athens. Our chef, Stam, was amazing. He kept our group of 14 on task and we created an amazing meal that we all shared at the end of the evening. He taught us alot as we prepared the food and entertained us with his corny jokes. I would highly recommend this experience. I can't wait to recreate some of the dishes for my family.
This excursion was so much fun! Our chef host connected with all 14 participants so warmly and our cooking class was filled with laughter, valuable information, hands-on experience, and the joy of eating our five-course meal on the roof top. I highly recommend this experience!
This was one of our favorite activities that we did during our 14 days in Greece. Spyros was fun and super informative. When we got to eat our creations they were delicious!
What amazing experience! Our cooking class with Stam was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Greece.
Stam was an incredible instructor, knowledgeable, welcoming, patient, and so much fun. He made the class feel relaxing and enjoyable while teaching us delicious Greek recipes and sharing the experience and culture beyond the food.
The atmosphere was wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious, and getting to be hands-on throughout the class made the experience even more memorable we laughed, learned, cooked, and enjoyed every minute of it!
I would highly recommend this cooking class to anyone visiting Greece it’s such a fun and authentic way to experience Greek food, culture and hospitality.
Great time meeting small group of folks from around the world while picking up great cooking tips from an amazing chef who made our time so enjoyable. Everyone participates but no pressure. Definitely recommend!
Come hungry and ready to have a wonderful time! This was my husband's first time doing a cooking class, and he was a little nervous. Our chef put him right to work and he had such a great time learning the different techniques (and of course eating everything after!). This was my favorite part of visiting Athens, and we learned a lot of history about the dishes themselves, the products that make them, and wines to pair them with!
It was also a great way to meet other people traveling and we ended up staying past the class time on the rooftop restaurant (along with our chef!) chatting more.
If you're looking for a fun way to explore the cuisine of Greece, make friends while you travel, and spend a beautiful evening with incredible views, I would recommend doing this!
Such an incredible experience! Super fun class, very informative and without question worth the value. Would 100/100 recommend.
Chef Spyros made our class so much fun! Just the right balance of fun and education. Loved the option to do the wine pairing throughout the class and a great view with the sunset at the end
It was a great evening of relaxing fun and wonderful culinary information. The chef was amazing, kind, and very knowledgeable. I enjoyed the conversation and the discussion about the history of the cuisine.
The small group setting was perfect. Kostas, our chef was engaging, knowledgeable and fun. My boyfriend, who does not cook, came away a chef that night. We met new people and enjoyed the delicious fruits of our “labor”.
Spyros was very welcoming and did a nice job hosting, making jokes and teaching everyone equally. Would recommend
This class was taught by a extremely friendly greek chef who taught us how to make a 4 course dinner while also sharing cooking tips you could use in many recipes all while giving everyone jobs to do and making everything so much fun. We ate our meals on a rooftop restaurant and the chef sat down and shared his knowledge of places to visit and things to do in Greece. We made authentic greek food and learned more than s few recipes. So much fun eating with everyone. I would do this again and again.
What an absolutely fantastic experience! Stam made this cooking class truly special. His enthusiasm, playfulness, and genuine love for cooking and instructing were infectious. But what really set him apart was his incredible knowledge—not only of the history of Greek food, but of Greek history and culture more broadly. His extensive travels around the world bring an added perspective to everything he shares, and throughout the evening he was warm, engaging, funny, and incredibly professional.
There were 12 of us from around the world, and from the start the group clicked. Everyone was fabulous, and by the time we finished cooking and sat down together to enjoy what we had made, it felt more like a wonderful dinner among travelers than a cooking class.
It was genuinely one of the most enjoyable evenings—and meals—of my entire trip to Greece. I cannot recommend Stam and this experience enough.
Great class, so much fun, such a good experience! The instructor was entertaining and made the class fly by. Great food
This experience is perfect for a group of friends, couples or even family members to share with each other. It was interactive for each attendee and was very fun.
The only note I have is that the “view of the acropolis” is obscured and you will barely see it until the eating portion, if sat on a particular side of the table.
Overall, would recommend it for a bit of lighthearted fun.
If you're looking for an unforgettable experience in Athens, look no further than the Greek Cooking Class with Chef Spyros, followed by a rooftop dinner featuring stunning views of the Acropolis. My partner and I had high expectations for our date night, but this class exceeded them all and turned out to be the highlight of our entire trip!
From the moment we arrived, Spyros made us feel welcome with his infectious energy and humor. It was evident that he is not only a talented chef but also a passionate educator. His ability to break down complex cooking techniques into clear and manageable instructions made the class enjoyable for both beginners and those with some kitchen experience. By the end of the evening, we walked away not just with delicious food but newfound cooking skills that I never thought I could achieve.
The setting of the class was delightful, and the intimate atmosphere made it perfect for a romantic evening. After cooking, we were treated to a rooftop dinner with breathtaking views of the Acropolis, which was the cherry on top of an already wonderful experience. We enjoyed the fruits of our labor while soaking in the magical ambiance of Athens at night.
I can't recommend this cooking class enough—it's a must-do for anyone visiting the city! Whether you're a seasoned cook or just want to have a fun night out, Spyros will ensure you leave with more than just a full belly; you'll take home lasting memories and skills. If you’re in Athens, this experience is simply not to be missed!
