Great cooking class!
It was wonderful! We learned how to make several Greek dishes that I had hoped to learn. It was a small group and very hands fun. Recipes were shared during the class.

Definitely do it
Amazing experience with Irini, Marina and Alexia. Food was fantastic and recipes easy to make at home. So much fun!

We had an amazing time! ...
We had an amazing time! Our chef taught us how to make 5 different greek dishes. The activity was engaging and we got recipes of each dish to bring home. Some reviews mention you do not cook your food. That is somewhat true. When you prepare the dishes that need to go into the oven (meat/pastries), the staff at the restaurant take it downstairs to cook. The recipes we received at the end detail how to cook each dish, so it did not feel like I lost out on any experience.

Greek Delight
Small group of five shared preparing Greek dinner with beautiful views of the Acropolis. Excellent outside eating area of this restaurant/ hotel to enjoy our finished dinner. Recommend doing this in the evening.

Cooking class
The instructor was terrific. Lots of laughs but by the time we ate the lamb was cold and there was not enough pieces for each person at the table. Yet we all made one. I was really looking forward to the Lamb but was disappointed
