If you're on the fence about booking this cooking class—DO IT! It was hands down our favorite activity during our entire trip to Greece.
The atmosphere was so much fun, and the group made the experience even better. The chef was absolutely hilarious, keeping everyone laughing while sharing tips and stories throughout the class. It never felt like a formal lesson—it felt like cooking with friends.
And the food... every single dish was delicious! There's something incredibly satisfying about learning to make authentic Greek recipes and then sitting down to enjoy them together.
This experience was the perfect combination of amazing food, great company, and unforgettable memories. We would book it again in a heartbeat. Don't miss this one!

If you want to cap off your Santorini experience with something truly special, I highly recommend this experience! First, the atmosphere of the cave house was beautiful, clean, modern, and yet still authentic in all the right ways. The cooking instruction was informative, yet fun, and the food was to die for. The hospitality and kindness of the hosts made the whole experience welcoming while still being highly professional. Not only do you get a to experience the culinary aspects of Greece, but you also get a wine education too. Truly, if you want a more unique and intimate experience while in Santorini, book this class!

Sassy, spunky, delicious! Chef was very hands on and will not let you ruin the dish if you're nervous about that! Very informative, open to questions, and you will have more food than you can possibly eat as well as practical dishes easy to replicate at home.
Andrea_H, Oct 2025
Fantastic! Got to cook four authentic dishes and learned about Greek cuisine. It was a few hours well spent and a great way to get to know the local food.
Donna_M, Oct 2025
The Cooking Class was very good! We were able to prepare and taste foods of Santorini. I enjoyed the day with friends and new acquaintances.
Laura_L, Sep 2025
It was amazing! Very welcoming, wine flowed, there were laughs and of course DELICIOUS food. Everything we made was very good. Definitely worth it.
Laurie_P, Sep 2025
Wonderful cooking class! Alexandra and Elinor were fantastic hosts. Learned not just about local cuisine but also a little about the cave house the class was held in. Would highly recommend.
Jaime_F, Sep 2025
A lot of fun! Was a bit pricy considering how long the actual cooking lesson was, but overall we had an amazing time and the food was absolutely delicious. We're going to attempt to recreate the recipes at home.
Donna_H, Sep 2025
The cooking and food was great.
We were, however, very disappointed when we were told we had to purchase an apron if we wanted one. The details about the cooking class included that we would receive the apron and when we mentioned that, we didn't get an explanation why that was. We were just told, we could purchase it for 15 euros! False advertising. That should be corrected.
Sarah_B, Sep 2025
We had an incredible time at To Spitiko Mas, from the simple but flavorful recipes to the lively instruction by Alexandra and Eleanor! We made a 5 course meal as suggested in the sample menu, and each part of the process was well explained with the history behind the food as well as how to make it at home. We laughed our way through the cooking process and agree that this meal was our best while on Santorini. Absolutely recommend!
