Market visit then hands-on cooking in Athens, learning classics like tzatziki and spanakopita, with 250ml wine and take-home recipes.
“A good selection of recipes to prepare within the allocated time. The end result was very tasty and we will certainly try to reproduce some of the recipes when we return home. It is helpful that they provide their recipes online.”
Market stroll at Varvakios Agora, hands-on Greek dishes, and a full meal with local organic wine. 4 hours, Athens.
“The market tour was forgettable, but we have been to lots of markets across the world. The cooking class on the other hand was very good. We can't wait to make spanikota when we get home. We would take a different class with this guide in the future.”
Hands-on Greek cooking in Santorini with Chef Christos. Make tzatziki, salad, fritters, pasticio, then eat lunch with wine and PDFs.
“The food and people make a cooking class great, and both were phenomenal in our class. We made 4 dishes and the chef sent us the recipes (and a bonus recipe!) so we will be able to recreate everything back home when we start missing Greece. We had folks of all cooking levels in here and everyone was successful. In fact, the chef's banter was the best with those who weren't as experienced in the kitchen. One thing to note if you've done cooking classes before, this was not as hands on as some of the others that we've done in the past. If you wanted to have your hands…”
Cook with Naxian families at Basiliko in Potamia. Pick from the garden, learn cheese making, then feast with wine and dancing.

A 6-hour small-group cooking class in Chania’s White Mountains, with garden herbs, shepherd stories, Cretan cheese, wine, and dinner.
“Really fantastic experience from start to finish. The location is beautiful at the base of the White mountains. The tour guide was really engaging and the cooking class was a lot of fun. The group we were with was really nice and it was lovely to sit down together and enjoy the delicious food. One of the highlights of our trip. Would highly recommend!”
Small-group Cretan cooking in the White Mountains, with dinner, wine tasting, and mountain views from Chania. Photos and recipes emailed.

“I truly can't recommend this experience enough. If you're staying in Chania the location is very convenient and the setting is beautiful. The hosts are an incredibly welcoming family that all have their moments to shine throughout the preparation of each dish. The Dakos/Ntakos were my girlfriend and I's favourite dish by far, so much so that we sought them out at a restaurant the next day (though they weren't as good). If you're even considering booking it, do it!”
