Highly recommended! - This experience was one of our favorite excursions of our trip. We were on a 10 cruise through Turkey and the Greek Islands so by the time we got to Mykonos we were looking for something a little more laid back. It was a perfect day! Chef Nikos was great - he explained the step-by-step process as we prepared the dishes and drank a lot of wine. The group was small (3 of us plus a group of 5) which made it feel more personal - like cooking at home with family. The recipes were easy to prepare and delicious to eat. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone interested in preparing authentic Greek dishes and of course eating delicious food.

10/10 experience! - This cooking class was certainly a highlight of our trip to Mykonos! Chef Nikolas was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging! The food was DELICIOUS, and we were left absolutely stuffed and with leftovers for the evening. I would recommend this experience to everyone I know!! Thank you, Chef Nikolas!

Thanks Chef Nico - Thank you chef Nico! Thanks for being funny, fun, and a great instructor. We learned to cook tzatziki, spinach and cheese pies, pita, meatballs, dolmades, chicken and pork slouvaki. It was so much food. Nico’s instructions were easy to follow, and the quality of the ingredients was great. The kitchen was outside, on the top of a hill, with amazing views.

Must do in Mykonos - Our experience with Chef Nikos was all around fantastic! We started cooking almost immediately after we arrived - just a short explanation of what we’d be doing, an overview of the menu, and we were cooking. The chef is legit - he went to culinary school in Athens and spent decades working in high end restaurants in the city before founding his business as a private chef in Mykonos. Mykonos is his granny’s homeland, and this is where he first learned to love cooking as a child. His approach, like all great Greek food, is to let the freshness and simplicity of the ingredients shine through. He had done all the prep in advance (cutting and chopping the herbs and veggies), and he measures most of the ingredients for you (by eye - no measuring cups here…), so you can enjoy the actual cooking process. Chef Nikos kept the wine flowing throughout the class and educated us along the way about the ingredients, the history; and the culture surrounding Greek cuisine. We would absolutely do this again, and highly recommend it for anyone who likes cooking and/or eating Greek food. The menu included tzatziki, dolmas, meatballs, spinach pies (spanakopita), feta cheese pies, pita bread, and gyros (pork, chicken). Did I mention the wine? By the end, we felt like friends, and he even made some solid restaurant recommendations in Athens. This was worth every penny. Total duration, excluding transportation, was about 3.5 hours.

Nikos was knowledgeable,... - Nikos was knowledgeable, patient, and had a great sense of humor. He broke down each step clearly and offered helpful tips and tricks that I’ll definitely use at home. Even when things got a little messy or someone made a mistake (myself included!), the atmosphere stayed light and supportive. We learned how to make tzatziki, cheese pies, spinach pies, dolmades, and even how to greek gyros and everything turned out absolutely delicious. What I appreciated most was the balance between learning technique and actually enjoying the process — it never felt rushed or overly technical. Highly recommend!

Perfect Greek Experience - The highlight of our Greek Experience! Not only were the recipes concise, the entire class was wonderful. It was just my best friend, Chef, and I, and it felt so intimate and simply lovely. We got home and promptly made several of the recipes (from the book he provided us) for other friends…..to RAVE reviews! Looking forward to replicating the experience with my family. Cannot say enough good things about this class. JUST DO IT. You will not be sorry!

Lack of communication/ false advertising - When booking, under the additional communication tab it states that pick up and drop off from most Mykonos hotels are included in the overall price. However, on the day of the class, the tour operator reached out saying it would be an additional $70 in transportation fees. We already paid $380 for the cooking class which is way over priced in my opinion. For this reason, I chose to cancel. The tour operation and the Viator company refuse to refund my money. The customer service is awful.
