What to expect

Step into our real Greek family home in Thessaloniki and begin with homemade cheese pie and bougatsa while getting to know our family.

Then roll up your sleeves and cook a complete Greek meal from scratch. You’ll prepare Greek village salad and tzatziki, peel and cook potatoes and eggplants, make baked feta with tomato, peppers and kasseri, and take part in every step of our family moussaka, including the béchamel.

While the food is cooking, taste Greek cheeses, dakos, dolmadakia and other local products, accompanied by Greek wine. Traditional ouzo, tsipouro and mastiha are also available.

After cooking, learn a few simple steps of a traditional Greek dance with Dora, then sit together around our family table and enjoy the meal and homemade dessert.

Throughout the experience, we’ll share stories about our family, Greek traditions, Thessaloniki and everyday life in Greece. Vegetarian, gluten-free and lactose-free guests are welcome, and the menu can be adapted to dietary needs.
