About the activity

Our cooking class will guide you through making the authentic Greek Moussaka dish and Spanakopita pie, by teaching you how to prepare your own phyllo pastry. We will prepare two classic traditional pies: Spinach pie and Milk pie. Alongside homemade pies, we will craft a Greek island-inspired salad with cherry tomatoes, flavored with aged local vinegar, and a Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce. Our kitchen is conveniently located just a few steps from Monastiraki square, in the vibrant Psirri neighborhood. I will be waiting for you there, on the rooftop terrace offering Acropolis views. We'll begin with preparations and a chat to break the ice and discuss Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. Afterward, I will introduce you to the ingredients we will be using. Then, the cooking class will commence! Once we've finished cooking, we will gather to eat and savor our creations together. Enjoy spectacular views of the Acropolis monuments and the Parthenon temple illuminated at night, along with the lively center of Athens overlooking the dome of Aghios Dimitrios church. Please note that we do not offer a gluten-free option. Vegetarians are warmly welcomed!

Great experience.

Fun evening with an incredible menu. We all had a great time learning how to make some delicious dishes. If anything, it was too much food, but very delicious.

Fun and easy cooking class in Athens
K2M, October 2026
What a fun and easy way to experience Greek food that you get to make yourself. Very comfortable environment of about 12 people. The chef was funny and easy going and made the couple hours enjoyable and relaxed. The wine pairing made it even better.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Amazing Cooking Experience in Athens!
E3315KHsaraht, October 2026
The Artist Athens cooking class with Spiros was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! The class was incredibly fun from start to finish, and Spyros was a fantastic instructor. He made everyone feel welcome, explained the techniques clearly, and shared great insights into authentic Greek cuisine and culture. The other participants were wonderful as well, which made the experience even more enjoyable and interactive. Most importantly, the food was beyond delicious. We learned how to prepare authentic Greek dishes that we can actually recreate at home, and every dish was packed with flavor. It was such a rewarding experience to learn the traditions and techniques behind the recipes. If you're visiting Athens and looking for a unique, memorable activity, I would absolutely recommend this class. Great food, great people, and a great instructor. It was an experience we won't forget!
Response from the operator · Athens A

Steve_R, October 2026
This was a last minute idea and it was great. We were in a group of 15 people. The chef was fun and quite knowledgeable. He kept us a busy. We learned a lot. And the food was fantastic. Also, good view of the Acropolis at night and the local neighborhood is lovely. Very highly recommend this. Chef Stam was great!!!
