This was a very enjoyable...
John_S, October 2026
This was a very enjoyable cooking class. We were taken through the process of creating 5 dishes.
Everyone was allocated a task to complete in preparing the food, which gave some hands on experience. There was a visit to a local market to buy produce.
When meal was completed we sat and enjoyed the fruits of our labour, with local wine included. The chef Thanassi was very good and explained everything well.
It was well worth the effort. Book this one with confidence.

Great fun class
idewrt2018, October 2026
The class was a little hard for us to find, but we finally did!
The instructor was great, he took us to the fresh air market. The meat side was fascinating. Didn't smell at all. Lots and lots of animals on the chopping block there! The seafood market didn't really smell like stinky fish, and no flies either. The fresh fruit, vegetables and fresh bread were lovely. The colors were outstanding. Olives forever! And delicious too!
The instructor... He (who's name I can't say and now don't remember) was awesome. He explained everything and made it such a fun class. It was great!
The food we prepared was awesome. Spanikopita, stuffed grape leaves (which I normally don't like), stuffed eggplants with tomatoes and fresh feta and tazikki. Made everything seem so easy. Such a fun day. We (my 2 girl friends and I) really really enjoyed it.
You should go if you get a chance. Well worth it!

Yummy and fun!
Nancy_C, October 2026
So much fun! We loved going to the market first. Thanasis was wonderful. He not only coached us with cooking techniques, he also gave a lot of interesting information about the regions of Greece and where foods originate. Everything was delicious! We had a wonderful time with the other members of the group. Well worth it!
