“The only part me and my partner don’t like was the meat/fish market aspect at the beginning, we are vegetarian and so don’t get much out of this aspect of the tour, and turned our stomachs a little. The rest of the tour was great, with the olives, fruit and veg, very authentic. I can’t fault the rest of the session though, we had a great group of random people, learnt how to make Greek food and it was delicious!”

Make gyros, pita, tzatziki, spicy feta, and dessert with a local Greek family in Athens during this hands-on cooking class.
“Dionysia and her son did an amazing job walking us through how to make the Greek comfort food, gyros. We looked at cooking classes to do as a family but most made me hesitant as our kids aren’t adventurous eaters. When I saw the gyro class, I jumped on it thinking we could make it work for the kids. The hosts were very accommodating, reaching out the day before about the specific meats and any other need to know items before we arrived. We wound up having a private class as they didn’t have another booking for our time slot but we enjoyed the time of getting to know more…”
