Great Cooking Class - Wonderful experience! 8 people in our group and a fun experience enjoyed by all. The Chef showed us how to prep our food. We ate outside in the garden under a lemon and orange tree, great setting. I would highly recommend this class.

Great cooking class and overall value - We loved this cooking class in Athens! Kastos was an excellent chef and made us feel at home cooking an array of traditional Greek foods in a cozy intimate space. Go on a Tuesday for a walk through the local farmers market, and drink lots of tasty wine!

WOW!!! Exceeded our expectations!! - WOW!! Exceeded our expectations!!! Costas and Katerina put together a flawless cooking class that included 6 delicious Greek dishes! It was a hands on experience with Costas patiently and professionally walking us through every step of preparation. We learned some valuable tips to use in our own kitchen. We’re happy to give Costas Katerina, and this class, a ten thumbs up and a 5 star review!!!!

Dylan and Dan - I surprised my friend with this booking and we both loved it. We are home cooks from rainy England, and were interested to have a go at all the things we’d been tasting across Greece. The food turned out great thanks to the tutoring of Vasilis, who was very warm, friendly and encouraging. Overall a great way to end our visit to Hellas, Efcharistó.
