Shop Varvakios Agora, cook classic Greek dishes, and eat what you make with wine and Greek digestive liquor in a 4-hour class.

I could not possibly finish it alm but it was so nice to try lots of different things I highly recommend it”
In Megalochori, cook tzatziki and pasticio with Chef Christos, then eat with Greek wine. Small group, PDF recipes, gluten-free options.

Half-day Naxos cooking class at Basiliko Family Tavern: pick garden produce, learn Naxian recipes, enjoy wine and Greek dancing in a rural village.
“We had the absolute best experience with Ana and her family and the farm and learning to cook local dishes! It was such a treat! We were smiling from ear to ear! We highly recommend this to anyone! Even if you don’t like to cook it was so enjoyable for all! We loved the wine and the breaking plates and dancing as well! Oh and of course we loved Grace the pup!”
Greek cooking class in Athens with a rooftop dinner and Acropolis view. Small-group hands-on lessons, recipes, and a 3-course meal.
“The class was fun learning about Greek food and culture with our amazing chef Costas who was a lot of fun and engaged the group throughout the class. The food was amazing and the view was great! A wonderful experience overall!!”
Hands-on Greek cooking in central Athens, then a 3-course dinner with Acropolis views. Small group, recipes included, one drink too.
“This class was at a disadvantage after we took the most amazing class in Naxos. There is little hands-on cooking; we did a bit of chopping and then some class participants got to mix items (with their hands). The food was ok and the meal was not on the rooftop. The biggest benefit is you can purchase glasses of wine during the class to make it more bearable.”
