Fun evening with an incredible menu. We all had a great time learning how to make some delicious dishes. If anything, it was too much food, but very delicious.
This was a last minute idea and it was great. We were in a group of 15 people. The chef was fun and quite knowledgeable. He kept us a busy. We learned a lot. And the food was fantastic. Also, good view of the Acropolis at night and the local neighborhood is lovely. Very highly recommend this. Chef Stam was great!!!

Stam made the experience fun and kept all 12 of our group and 2 new friends engaged with humor and relevant facts about Greece and its delicious foods. We laughed and learned and realized we created something worth trying again once returning. Thanks Stam!

We had an awesome night with Stam cooking four new Greek recipes. We loved the hands-on aspect as well as finding out the tricks needed to have a successful dish. Thanks for a memorable night,Stam and helpers. We appreciate your style ❤️

The class was so much fun. Our instructor was very personable and knowledgeable and made it a great experience. To top it off the food was delicious.
Excellent. The chef well deserves the best cooking class in Greece award! Lots of fun and well explained
What a great cooking experience! Stam was an excellent teacher, with a great sense of humor. We will 100% be making these recipes when we get home.
This was well worth the trip in fact it was the highlight of our trip. We made 5 delicious dishes and then got to enjoy them with wine pairings overlooking the Parthenon. The chef was so knowledgeable and we learned things we wouldn't otherwise have known and were given all the recipes. Im planning on making these for my family when I get home to recreate the experience for them. So much fun doing this with other travellers from all over. Just a perfect evening.
This cooking class was awesome. The food is delicious and you definitely won’t leave hungry. The staff was so knowledgeable and kind as well.
This cooking class exceeded our expectations! Kostas made the experience super fun and the food was amazing!! It definitely made for a memorable experience!!
The class was fun and entertaining! Our chef, Chef Spyros, was engaging and warm. The food we prepared was delicious! He also provided interesting facts about the ingredients and substitutes. I highly recommend this class.
What a fun evening! Kostas was fabulous, the food was delicious and eating on the rooftop within view of the Acropolis was an experience I now want to try everywhere I travel.
if you like cooking and you need immerse yourself in Greek food it’s a perfect way to do so. It’s yummy and fun.❣️
This was a fun cooking class with a great chef named Stam. Unfortunately, trying to find the location was difficult. We arrived 20 minutes late as we took a cab and our friends walked and were 30 minutes late. We made traditional greek food but we shared in the prepartion. For example, 1 person cut up the vegetables, another whipped the sauce. The location was in a weird spot and just a warning, using your GPS always doesn't work. We even went there the day before to check out the location!
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!
