“the tour was interesting - very nice that the guide did not push wine purchases, but was very knowledgeable and helpful when requested. He made a suggestion that really impressed our native Greek host later in our trip! I would recommend the meal as well as it's interesting to see what goes into the wonderful food you've been eating. It was a full course meal, so no dinner needed or wanted that night!”

7.“Fetaverse” Private Cooking Class in Koukaki Athens

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $96

At Fetaverse in Koukaki, you’ll test your palate with a blind feta challenge, hear how PDO feta connects to Greek land and tradition, then cook tyrokafteri, spinach pies, and salad. Finish with moussaka or gigantes, local drinks, and homemade halva. The English-language class starts at noon and serves up to 15 people.

“The program invites you on a journey into the world of making and enjoying feta cheese — a topic that is not only fascinating from a culinary perspective, but also from a social and environmental one. Most of us rarely stop to think about what we actually put on our plates day after day. Yet after such a deep, multi-sensory experience, we not only savor the taste but value the food more fully, and also become more conscious of what we consume and what we truly appreciate in gastronomy. I wholeheartedly recommend it, 100%!”
