Ioannis is the BEST!

Lindsay_C, May 2023
My mother and I did a private class with Ioannis on a Sunday! He was so knowledgeable about the food we made and gave some wonderful stories of the history of these Greeks dishes along with some great laughs!! Wonderful experience! Best experience in Athens!
