Οur venue is the little foodie space in Athens. Our team of local, home cooks are here to take care of you and make sure you have fun from the moment you arrive!
Start the experience at the 1st floor of Athinas 36, Athens, it's a handy place to leave anything you don't want to carry to the market.
Head to Varvakios Agora, the central produce market in Athens, here you cook will take you on a shopping walk to pick up ingredients, meet some of the local traders and discover a few places you might not have already seen! It's not a tour of the market, but it's still an experience!
Back at our venue the hands-on experience will begin and you will be involved in the preparation of your dishes.
Your meal will be served with a serving of local organic wine and a shot of Greek digestive liquor.
End your time with us with a chance to relax, enjoy a drink with your food and let us take care of the dishes.
We are happy to cater to your dietary needs, please contact us using the messaging feature as soon as possible to let us know in advance as we can't do anything at the last minute.

Such a fun experience. Enjoyed walking the market and meeting new people. It was raining but that didn’t stop us.

Vasia was an excellent host and the hands on cooking experience was very memorable. I would recommend this class to anyone traveling to Greece.

It was such fun! The visit to the market gathering our food, the cooking and eating our dishes, and our wonderful instructor, Adonia, made for a wonderful experience!

My husband and I a wonderful cooking class yesterday with Dispina ( I'm sorry if that is spelt wrong). We first had a very interesting and informative tour of the market, followed by a fun and interactive class. Dispina was an amazing teacher and made sure to get everyone involved in the cooking. I would highly recommend this class to anyone interested in Greek food. I would definitely check it out again when back in Athens!

Our chef was amazing; friendly, funny and very knowledgeable. She brought us to the Grand markets to point out various foods some of which we used for the 5 dishes we made. And, no need to try to scramble to scribble recipes as you go as they are all on the Greek Kithen web site. Highly recommend this educational and tasty experience. Many thanks!

The food was delicious! The instructor was a comedian and kept things moving and funny while providing great information. The helpers had everything ready to go and the class proceeded on time. It ended with a shot of Mastiha for digestion! There was even food to take home.
Tripadvisor’s receipt was insufficient. It did not list the time or location. I had to look up the Greek Kitchen and go to their website for essential information.

This was the perfect way to kick off our stay in Athens - the staff were so friendly (especially Vasia and Antonia!) they kept us laughing and smiling the whole time.
The quality of the food was amazing and everyone got to participate and contribute to the meal in someway. We made spanakopita and orange pie and we tried ordering it at restaurants later in our trip but they paled in comparison to the ones we made in this class!
The 4 hours went by too quickly, I could have stayed there all day :)

Wonderful experience. So glad we did this. Vasia was so much fun and gave a detailed introduction to Greek cuisine. It’s a great communal experience as we met some lovely people in the class. Highly recommended!

This was such a fun class. We found the studio easily with Google maps. We're greeted by the staff. Once all there,we did a tour of the markets, which was a culinary person's delight. Back to the studo after Vasia, who is very popular there, purchased a few items we needed for or class. The items we prepared ourselves and cooked were amazingly good and simple enough to make you want to prepare at home. I can't say enough about Vasia, our chef. She was funny, fun, and very thorough and allowed us to prep everything. The whole group had so much fun, oh, and plenty of wine!!!
