Fun Times and Delicious Cuisine
"What a surprise and amazing experience. Our chef was fun — he made learning the history behind each dish exciting and got everyone involved in preparing the food. The 4-course meal was outstanding from start to finish. After cooking we headed upstairs to the rooftop for beautiful views including the Acropolis and Parthenon at sunset. Truly special."

If I could give this 10 stars, I would
"This was my first activity after landing and it was a great introduction to Athens. Spiros is a class act — informative, engaging and loads of fun. He explained everything really well and gave thorough instruction. I met some wonderful people and we bonded over the amazing meal we all made together. I will ABSOLUTELY book this class again."

Wonderful Time Cooking with Spyros
"We had a great time cooking with Spyros. He was incredibly friendly and educated us throughout the entire class. The food was excellent — we made Greek salad, spanakopita, tzatziki, moussaka and Greek milk pie. Highly recommended."

Do Not Miss
"This cooking class is top notch! You not only learn how to make the recipes but the science and reasoning behind the techniques. Our chef Spyro was very knowledgeable, funny, and engaged everyone in the group. Dinner on the rooftop cannot be compared — the views and ambience were the perfect ending."
