“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.
