This was a very relaxed and enjoyable cooking class. Christos was easy to understand and clear on his instructions. He allowed everyone to have a chance to participate and the food was delicious!

We had a great time learning multiple dishes (apps/meal). Christos was a great teacher and got everyone involved. The food we made was a delicious lunch!

Chef Cristos was entertaining. He's funny and very particular. We had a large group of family ranging all ages. His class was a highlight of our trip and really got our vacation started off right. This class set the tone for us to slow down, enjoy our environment, and soak up the fun. Everyone loved the things we learned to prepare - they were all delicious - and we've already made them since we have come back home!

Tassie_B, Sep 2025

This was a fun outing. Christos was informative and helpful. I am anxious to make authentic Greek meals at home!

Excellent chef! Highly recommend.

Rhonda_B, Sep 2025

Christos was our chef. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. I learned three new cooking techniques. I am not a cook by nature, but now I am looking forward to trying some of these dishes at home. The menu was fantastic. I particularly like the tomato fritters and the pastitso. There were anThere were a couple of speed bumps with other participants in the class, but he handled those with Grace. He kept the class engaging and kept us on track making these complicated dishes. There was demonstrations of techniques by him, but we all got to participate in some fashion to make our Kamal meal. Excellent chef highly recommend.

Save your time and money

kimberly_d, May 2025

all I did was cut a cucumber and one slice of tomato. I saw other reviews saying the same thing that they only cut two veggies and I ignored it and I wish I did it and ignore their review.. This was not a cooking class… this class was completely underwhelming. And we cut the cucumbers and tomato on a thin plastic cutting board and a dull crappy knife. The guy teaching the class had one burner and one pan and he was the main person doing all the cooking. It was class of about 12 people. And only three people helped stir food on the pan for about 5 mins each. You’re mainly just watching him cook and it wasnt anything crazy either. I did not have a good experience and he kept reiterating that we would get the recipes for the food and I never received any recipes. I would skip this and save your money and do something else. I wasted about 4 hours of my time and money.

Amazing cooking class! Highly recommend. We absolutely loved Christo! If you are in Santorini, definitely check this out.

Incredible food and great instructor

Cole_H, Nov 2024

Best cooking class I have participated in. The instructor is knowledgeable and charismatic, and the food you cook tastes amazing! On top of all this the class takes place in a beautiful area making it easily worth the price.

Not Great

Rheal_R, Oct 2024

First of all, the cooking class was not held in a proper kitchen. It was merely a table with a couple of induction hot plates to serve as the cooking surfaces. With the exception of one member of our group that assisted from time to time with the cooking, we were seated thereby not allowing us to really see what was going on in the pans / pots. The chef concentrated his attention on a young woman to the point of being somewhat inappropriate. We did learn a couple of cooking tips and the food was okay, hence the reason for the "Poor" and not "Terrible" rating.

MUST DO EXPERIENCE

Andrew_A, Oct 2024

An experience of a Lifetime! If you’re thinking about booking this experience, ITS A MUST!! Very hands on learning to cook Greek Cuisine, you get to eat and drink wine afterwards. At the end, you’ll feel like your family!

Amazing Santorini experience

joseph_c, Oct 2024

We just loved the passion enthusiasm and humor of this chef. He was sure to involve us all in the process while sharing his techniques. The food was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

A Cultural Cooking Experience

Echo_H, Oct 2024

A very hands on cooking experience, taught by no nonsense Chef Christos. We were given great tips and reasons behind them. His recipes and methods provided for one of the best meals that were eaten while traveling through Greece and its islands.

Great time

Nathaniel_A, Oct 2024

One of the best classes I’ve ever done, I highly recommend it! All of the dishes we made were absolutely incredible. It was one of the best meals we ate on our entire vacation. We learned lots of good tips and tricks and overall just can’t recommend enough.

READ BEFORE YOU BOOK- DO NOT BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE

Amanda_A, Oct 2024

READ BEFORE YOU BOOK- DO NOT BOOK THIS EXPERIENCE. This is not a hands on experience. In the 3 hours we were there the only cooking I did was “cutting a tomato.” Please save your money like I wish I had. This seems like a promising experience bc of the reviews but he forces you to review after eating.

Great Experience!

Pat_C, Sep 2024

Excellent experience. It met our expectations. Christos and his assistant were excellent and very well organized! We also had three sisters sharing the experience with us and we all had many many laughs! Which made the experience great ! PS- Christos we will not freeze the meat! 💕

Watching the rude chef cook and flirt with pretty girls

karen_f, Sep 2024

The recipes were unique Greek recipes. We were full after eating the delicious food. We got to cut up the tomatoes. That was about the extent of actual cooking. Except one of us also got to help briefly assist in cooking some fritters. The chef was rude to us. The chef interacted with the prettiest girls a lot and was short with everyone else. He also pressured us to hurry to write a review on trip advisor.

Greek cooking with fun people

Daniel_O, Sep 2024

We had the best experience with the Chef, his assistant, and the people in our group. The chef took time to explain certain cooking techniques and allowed us to be a part of it. Don’t be fooled by some reviews that the chef is rude. He teaches you the proper techniques and corrects you if you are doing it wrong. Food we prepared was delicious and the atmosphere was great. Again I highly recommend! Dan

Delicious Cooking Class in Santorini

Jennifer_M, Aug 2024

The food and people make a cooking class great, and both were phenomenal in our class. We made 4 dishes and the chef sent us the recipes (and a bonus recipe!) so we will be able to recreate everything back home when we start missing Greece. We had folks of all cooking levels in here and everyone was successful. In fact, the chef's banter was the best with those who weren't as experienced in the kitchen. One thing to note if you've done cooking classes before, this was not as hands on as some of the others that we've done in the past. If you wanted to have your hands on every aspect of the food, this isn't the class for you as we took turns on different dishes. We had seats and great entertainment/conversation, though, because the chef is a ham so it really wasn't an issue for us. This is a definite recommended activity, and we had a great time.

Great greek cooking class

Bob_E, Aug 2024

Brilliant! Great food., fab chef, very humorous and fantastic tips. More of a partially involved cooking demonstration but only a minor mention and maybe because the class was full. Real good fun and worth every penny!

Fun and delicious!

Pamela_E, Aug 2024

Really enjoyed this cooking class! So much fun-- Chef Christos led us through cooking several traditional Greek dishes, but included tips that he uses to enhance them. He was warm and engaging. The finished dishes were delicious!

Not suitable for those via a cruise ship

Ruth_C, Jul 2024

This class is not near the cruise ship port and takes time to get there. Due to my ship using tenders on the day I scheduled I missed my class. I called the chef and he offered to let me take a later class but it did not work out. They tried to accommodate me but I still wasn’t able to get there. I was very disappointed because I missed an excursion I had looked forward to for a long time. Very nice people, responsive and helpful but don’t book if you are on a cruise ship.

Lifelong memories on Santorini

Amy_S, Apr 2024

Taking this cooking class with my husband and teenage son created wonderful memories while on our trip to Santorini. Christo was an excellent guide and the food we made was incredible. Be sure to bring your appetite because there was A LOT to eat and all was delicious. We learned a lot about the local cuisine, cooking techniques and many, many treasures secrets of the traditional (and modern!) Greek cuisine preparation. I highly recommend this class to anyone and especially to families with older kids as they do a great job engaging everyone so all can participate. We had our dinner there so no need to dine before or after. Should probably not have had lunch that day!

Bad bad bad

Manon_A, Oct 2023

Very bad experience with the chief cook. I was very unpleasant with me. I do not recommande Raki restaurant

Fantastic

KeeAnn_D, Oct 2023

Absolutely wonderful class. A must for everyone..so much fun and the food is fantastic. A great time for all ages

Great experience making delicious food

Mark_R, Oct 2023

This was a great, fun experience. The chef Christos took time to explain what we were doing and why. We took turns to do different dishes rather than each doing each dish so there was a degree of watching and as well as doing but we picked up some great ideas and skills that we will use at home. The food was delicious - especiallly the tomato fritters. Eating it after was a challenge as it was very filling. With the various courses and wine it was great value. Would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys cooking.
