Offered in: English and 1 more

Your local guide will welcome you with a cold and refreshing Poros lemonade, along with a story about the Poros lemon tree forest that goes back to the 18th century. During your hands-on cooking class, the chef will give you step-by-step instructions to perfectly prepare traditional Greek dishes like tzatziki, Greek salad, beetroot dip, fish or vegetable plaki, spanakopita and bougatsa. You’ll learn the key ingredients and spices needed to make these dishes as authentic as possible, the perfect skill to take home with you from your travels in Greece.
This class takes place in the beautiful setting of a traditional Greek bistro, where you will meet the family that owns it and learn about their island life.
After we chop, stir and fold, you’ll also learn how to mix a special drink called Nectar, which was inspired by the Greek gods.
Finally, it’s time to eat! You’ll get to savour the fruits of your labour — and the food will taste even better because you’ve made it with your own hands!
