My friends and I had a wonderful experience. Mara was very informative and lots of fun. A most enjoyable time we had. The other couple that was in our class were from the USA and we had lovely lunchtime conversation with them. I would recommend this experience to anyone going to Athens.

Not much cooking

Cumara_O, Apr 2026

I would say there was much less actual cooking than most other cooking classes I’ve taken. Everything was already cut and prepped and measured for you. Some might favor that but others might not. We made meatballs, spinach pies, stuffed peppers, tatziki. We were supposed to get the recipes but have not yet

Great experience and...

Great experience and learned all about Greek cuisine through the class. Natalia was wonderful and we really had a fun time!

Great time spent cooking

Such a wonderful way to spend a few hours in Athens. Cooking lesson with what felt like a group of old friends. We learned how to cook authentic Greek food then sat and tasted some of the most delicious food we ever had

Great Experience.

Scott_B, Oct 2025

The whole experience was great. We ended up being the only couple due to others canceling. But it was a great time and fun

Delicious Appetizers & Beautiful Setting

Kristy_H, Aug 2025

We had a wonderful time! The market tour was replaced with a stroll through Anafiotika, where Natalia shared stunning city views. The class was more about prepping than full cooking, but rolling grape leaves, meatballs, stuffed peppers, and spinach pies was so much fun—and everything tasted amazing. The garden setting to enjoy our food was beautiful. Highly recommend, just note it’s more appetizers than entrées.

Nice time was had by all!

Linda_S, Aug 2025

The cooking class was fun-we learned quite a few tricks-Mara and Natalia were very friendly-could have done without the market tour-most of the shops were closed and the stalls were empty-we didn’t get any of our ingredients there.
