Fantastic!

Kathryn_A, Oct 2025
Wonderful experience! I would very much recommend this. The family were so lovely. And we cooked some very delicious food!

Greek experience not to be missed

Paul_L, Sep 2025
Hands down one of the best activities we have done in Greece was this Greek cooking 🥘 class. It exceeded my imagination -from picking the herbs 🌿 in the garden the aromas of simmering sauces and fresh cut produce 🍅 and many tasting spoons 🥄 . We yielded about nine dishes from appetizers, salads, entrées, and cocktails. Our multi-aged cohort of seven "chefs" were from Austria the Netherlands and Sweden in the USA We ended experience dining alfresco on what we cooked. Conversation, laughs and wine embellished the whole experience

I absolutely loved this cooking class. I am a terrible cook, and now have the knowledge to make my friends and family a three course Greek meal.
