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

Start with a 30-minute walk through Athens Central Market, then join a hands-on class at The Greek Kitchen near Athinas Street. With cooks such as Vasia, Thanos, Adoniya, or Antonia, you prepare tzatziki, spanakopita, dolmades, stuffed eggplant, and portokalopita before eating family-style with wine. The class runs in English for up to 16 people.

“This was the most amazing activity!! We explored the nearby market, which had everything you could ever need for a cooking class. We made dolmas, stuffed eggplant, YUM, then phyllo dough spanakopita, my fav, tzatziki. Both the tzatziki and the spanakopita I will definitely make at home. It was so fun to share the prep with others at our table gave us a chance to get to know the others from many different homelands. The women who taught us all these new recipes was a great teacher, sharing family recipes for these Greek meals. I would highly recommend this experience to everyone who visits Athens, Greece. Something we will remember…”
