Step into the authentic flavors and traditions of Greek cuisine through a hands-on cooking class in the heart of Athens.
This is a private cooking experience where you can choose between the Signature Greek Menu or one of the Special Greek Themed Menus, such as the Aegean Seafood Menu, the Meat Lovers Menu, or the Grandma’s Recipes Menu, inspired by authentic, deeply traditional home cooking.
Begin with a visit to the lively Central Food Market, shopping for fresh ingredients like a local and experiencing the rhythm of the city. Continue to a warm, welcoming, sun-filled, spacious setting with a large balcony and urban views on the 8th floor in central Athens, just a short walk from the market, right in the center, yet peacefully above the noise.
Guided by a professional chef, you’ll prepare authentic Greek recipes in a space that feels like home, uncover the secrets of Greek cuisine, and finally sit down to enjoy everything you’ve created together.
