This three-hour hands-on Greek cooking class takes place in Athens with a view of the Acropolis. Participants learn to prepare six traditional Greek dishes using authentic home-style recipes and techniques. The class includes making tzatziki, stuffed vine leaves, and handmade phyllo pie from scratch, a skill rarely taught in other classes. The group size is limited to 16 people to allow personal instruction from an expert chef who guides participants through each step. Fresh ingredients are provided to prepare a traditional six-course Greek meal. After cooking, guests share the meal together accompanied by Greek wine, carbonated beverages, and bottled water. Recipes for all dishes are emailed after the class so participants can recreate the dishes at home. Dietary preferences, including vegetarian and vegan options, can be accommodated if requested in advance. The menu changes with seasonal availability, and special requests for dishes should be sent by email after booking. Children aged 12 and older may participate in the class.

Itinerary
1. Welcome to the kitchen Meet your instructor in our central Athens studio and discover the seasonal menu and the traditions behind each dish. Settle into your station and prepare to work in pairs. 2. Cook a Greek feast from scratch Begin with a highlight of the class: making traditional phyllo entirely by hand. Mix and knead the dough, let it rest, then roll it paper-thin before shaping and filling your own pie. Continue with classic Greek starters, a seasonal salad, a main course and dessert. Your instructor demonstrates each technique step by step, helping you understand not only what to do, but why it works. No previous experience is needed. 3. Share the table When the cooking is finished, gather around the table and enjoy the meal while everything is fresh from the oven. Taste the contrast of crisp phyllo, fragrant herbs, ripe produce, olive oil and slow-cooked flavours, accompanied by Greek wine, beer, soft drinks and water. Τhe recipes are emailed after the class.
