1.Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

We drove our car to the class, it’s a bit nerve racking but very manageable. This should be number 1 on your list when planning a trip to Naxos!”

After a silly 45 minute farm tour - which consisted of an egg hunt (clearly placed eggs by owner,) we then we sat for 4 hours (yes - 4 hours.) It was almost as if it was their first cooking class. Nothing was prepared and the whole experience felt very disorganized. There was a lot of waiting and not a lot of cooking. We sat for 4 hours and cooked…”
