Everyone Needs To Try This! - Each selection we prepared under the direction of Chef Spyros was amazing! We will definitely make the greek salad and tzatziki sauce at home. He made the class very enjoyable and we loved our conversation over dinner with him. We would do this again!

Best Experience in Athens - One of the best experiences I could have booked! Our instructor, Spyros, was funny and engaging and taught us to make a delicious 5-course meal. We learned a lot of interesting facts about Greek food (and some facts just for fun), the jokes were flying, and the food was delicious! Don't miss out on this if you have the chance!

A must do for anyone who is visiting Athens! - Our family thoroughly enjoyed the cooking class at The Artist Hotel! We all said it was one of the best excursions we’ve done in a vacation. Our chef, Spiros was very professional and yet he made us laugh all through the class too. We learned about Greek food and also learned some new cooking skills. The dinner we prepared was delicious and eating on the rooftop was a fantastic experience especially with the view of the Acropolis. I highly recommend this activity and you will have the best time!

Great experience - Wonderful experience and super fun if you enjoy cooking. Our chef was Spyros, very friendly and explained everything in a clear and fun way to make it a very great experience for all! I am Greek and I have tasted all of the dishes before, however I was surprised with how tasty everything was and the new recipes I learned! Highly recommend it.

We'll be back - Spyros is both a great chef and a great teacher. We thoroughy enjoyed our 4-course meal (each course with its own wine pairing). He also has a sense of humor! (except when we're rolling out our phyllo dough for the spanakopita). :) We thoughly enjoyed ourselves not only cooking our Greek dinners but then enjoying them with our fellow chefs on the rooftop while gazing on the Acropolis and the Parthenon. It's a sight that never gets old.
