We spent 10 days in Athens and other areas of Greece and the Greek Cooking Lab was definitely a highlight! We made a full meal and dessert. It was the best Greek food we had our entire trip and all even better because we made it! This was so much fun for our family with a wonderful instructor/host! Wonderful atmosphere (the actual location is a bit hard to find, but the kitchen itself is very nice). I highly recommend adding this to your itinerary!

A Must Do in Athens!

Toyin_A, Apr 2026

We ended up being the only two people in the class due to being on Easter Sunday. It was very hands on, Pavlos was awesome, it was like we had known one other, the way the conversations flowed easily. He guided us and gave us a little history on Greek food, he also let us taste the olives from his family’s trees. Pavlos and Anna Maria were determined to give us the best experience, and we felt it. The food was delicious, and we got to take the rest with us. Best activity of the whole trip, we would definitely recommend this activity! Oh, he also sent us the recipes and a list of restaurants to try in Athens, we only got to try one of the restaurants because we were short on time, and it did not disappoint.

Brilliant teachers, wonderful food 😊

Absolutely fantastic class - we had a semi-private group (3 people) and Pavlos and Anna Maria were wonderful hosts and teachers. We made 5 dishes ans had a little dinner after to eat everything and it was all delicious! I can't speak highly enough of it!

Great food, company and lessons !

Karen_D, Sep 2025

Authentic Greek food and friendly relaxed atmosphere. Pavlos and Anna Marie were wonderful hosts teaching us how to make traditional meals. It was a delicious meal and more than enough food for everyone. Can’t wait to go home and cook for my family!

A Fantastic Time!!

This was such an amazing experience! Pavlos and Mareli were so kind and helpful. Pavlos ensured that we understood the tradition behind everything, and he made us feel welcome right from the beginning. The atmosphere was light and fun. They both made a point to know our names and get to know us personally, and we left with recommendations to several local restaurants that we are excited to try. To top it off the food was FANTASTIC. Such a wonderful time and one of the highlights of our trip for sure!

Definite Highlight

Couple cooking class

nickmichi_s, Jun 2025

Pavlos and Mareli, a lovely married couple taught us about Greek culture. It was a lovely experience. Cooked 5 delicious meals. We learned Briam, Milk Pie, Tzatziki, Spinach Pie, and Souvlaki. Pavlos taught us the history of the dishes we were making, their significance, and how some had variety based on ingredients in house, or personal taste. At the end, they sent us the recipes via email so that we can make them back at home. I recommended this class to anyone who would like a rich experience of Greek culture. If following GPS it does not lead you to the building you have to look at building numbers. Ask around to get to the correct building, ring doorbell and they'll let you in.

The Mood and the...

Genevieve_L, Sep 2025

Mood and trainers were very nice. A great experience and an excellent meal. The market visit was fine, however, no fresh food was bought at the market to cook during the course. Pavlos and Maria were very friendly.
