★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,101 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Cook classic Greek dishes, tour Athens Central Market, and share a homemade feast with wine in this friendly four-hour class.

“We had experienced this cooking class once before and loved it. Since we brought friends to Greece this time, we felt they would also enjoy and benefit from the whole experience. I believe that's exactly what happened. We shared it with a multinational group of wonderful folks from Canada, South Africa, Switzerland, Australia, and the US. The wonderful food we created and consumed together sure bridged that diverse group. Antonia and her team are simply efficient, knowledgeable, and so much fun to be with.”

However, cooking everything together with everyone made it a really enjoyable experience. Kostas, our guide/chef, was extremely nice and very instructive. His tips were especially interesting as it will upgrade my own cooking at home. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”

Shop Athens Central Market, cook Greek classics in a local taverna, then enjoy wine, lunch, recipes, and a small-group class.

“The Athens central market and cooking class was not your typical cooking experience. The recipes and menu were delicious and authentically Greek; however, the class was conducted in the open air dining room of the restaurant (read no air conditioning) with the 8 participants seated elbow-to-elbow at a dining table with the head chef demonstrating while the tour guide translated his instructions. Food courses and portions were huge, but contained no protein. Also be aware that the meeting location is 20 minutes from central market so walking through Athens is required beyond just touring the market. The market visit included purchasing vegetables like tomatoes and cucumbers and buying yogu...”
