Perfect 'social & cultural food day' - The perfect combination of learning how to cook greek food, stylish surroundings and perfect hosts. Me and my 18 yrs old arrived and were immidiately at ease, the conversation flowed and the lemons of the court yard made a perfect lemonade. We had a day filled with laughter, stories about food, family, local and global events. The authentic but modern designed cellar could have come out of a trendy magazine. The food gave us a sattisfied tummy and the conversation a glimps of Greek society. Thank you, Elena and Yana for a hartwarming day.

Like a warm hug - A wonderful experience. From the minute I arrived I felt such a warm welcome from Liana & Gianna. By the end of the day we were firm friends. The stone house & garden is a beautiful retreat from bustling Athens. We went to the market (just outside the door) to buy some provisions and the food we cooked was utterly delicious. I highly recommend this class, it’s brilliant.

Amazing host and food - What an amazing experience. There were three of us (I was solo) plus two lovely ladies teaching us how to cook amazing Greek dishes. The venue was a beautiful old house and the garden was idyllic! We ate everything we cooked (I’m still stuffed) and drank home made delicious wine.
As a solo traveler, I couldn’t have asked for better to be honest.

Loved Our Cooking Class! - We had lots of fun with Thanos, his sister, and two friends, learning about Greek food, preparation, and cooking, followed, of course, by eating! We learned the importance of gathering together with food. The prep room was in a lovely Athens apartment and we enjoyed the meal in a comfortable walled-in garden. The class was hands on and I look forward to preparing the menu for my family when we return home. It was interesting and friendly sharing parts of our lives and families. Highly recommend!
