An Amazing Evening in Athens - My group, a large group of 32, did a cooking class with pork/chicken gyros, dakos salad, tzatziki, pita, and a Greek cheesecake dessert. The experience was absolutely amazing; everything from the friendly staff (our new Greek cousins) to the food itself made for such a great way to spend an evening. If you’re looking for good food and some knowledge you can take home with you, this is the place. It’s also good to mention that the experience comes with recipes available upon request, so that you can apply what you learned back at home!

The Comfort of Family - Minas and Costas were excellent instructors and they made me feel like family! I have gone to many cooking classes around the world, and this was one of the best. They shared recipes that their grandmothers made for them, and with simple ingredients I was able to recreate wonderful flavors. I cannot wait to make the dishes for my family. Thank you for making my experience in Athens so special and memorable!

Greek food fun - This was great fun. Dionysia and her small team kept it interesting and 'hands on'. You eat what you cook (plus olives, wine etc) and there is plenty of it. Dionysia makes sure what you cook is edible! Her commitment to Greek cooking and Greek agricultural produce shone I must add that this was a class on New Year's Eve. The class ran a little overtime, with some members arriving late. We were never hurried along even though we were the last class on New Year's eve.

Highlight of Athens - This was the highlight of our excursion in Athens. Experiencing authentic cuisine in such a fun environment made for an unforgettable time. But the best part was how accommodating they were to our gluten and dairy allergies. We never missed out on any part of the experience and felt like we were taken care of from the minute the class began. If I could do a class with them on every vacation I would. We have since recreated the dishes we learned with great success and continue to enjoy the memories food and the memories. Thank you for everything!

Authentic Gyros Cooking Class for Food Lovers in Athens - This Gyros Cooking Class was an absolute delight! From seasoning the meat perfectly to grilling and making fresh pita, everything was so tasty and hands-on. The instructors were warm, welcoming, and shared tips that made the cooking so enjoyable. We laughed, tasted as we went, and felt like part of a big Greek kitchen family. The flavors were incredible, and every bite made us smile. If you love meat, flavor, and a fun cooking experience in Athens, this class is perfect!

Cooking with friends - It was amazing! My friends and I loved it! Such a great experience for a group of 8. For me the best part was making the pita.

Cooking with Dionysia was informative, delicious, and fun! - The Athens Greek cooking class making pitas from scratch with a local was the highlight of our Athen’s visit and one of the best excursions we have ever experienced. Dionysia welcomed us into her home and expertly led our small group through preparation of a delicious, authentic meal that we all enjoyed together like family. She entertained us with family stories and hands on cooking tips all while enjoying her family’s wine. Would highly recommend this class with Dionysia.
