Despite traveling to several different countries, my husband and I had never gone to a hosted dinner before at a local chef's home. It was such an amazing experience that we plan on doing something similar on all our trips. I can't say enough about Chef Giannis, the incredible meal, and wonderful atmosphere. We went on a Thursday evening in November so it ended up being my husband and I and one more traveler. Giannis gave us a delightful welcome drink. Giannis then took us on a tour of Greece through twelve dishes. I tend to be a picky eater and I loved everything I ate. In fact, it helped me decide what to order in other Greek restaurants as I would not have ordered some of the dishes had I not had it at Giannis's place first. Although I will say, that Giannis's dishes were by far superior to any thing else I ate during my stay in Athens. Along with dinner, Giannis also provided us with wonderful local wine to drink. My husband I can honestly say that Giannis & Konstantinos Authentic Greek Food Tasting was one of the highlights of our trip. Do not miss out on this fantastic experience!

We booked this dinner through EatWith during Athens’ off-season and were lucky enough to have Chef Giannis all to ourselves for the evening. He welcomed us into his beautiful home, where we dined on the outdoor patio with a magical view of the Acropolis lit up at night. There was a little chill in the air, which only added to the atmosphere. The ten-course dinner was delicious and incredibly generous. Come hungry, because it was more food than the two of us could finish! Our main courses were moussaka and lemon chicken with potatoes, and the spetsofai and lemon chicken were particular standouts. If you’re visiting Athens, this is a wonderful way to sample a wide variety of traditional Greek dishes in a beautiful, personal setting. A memorable evening with a welcoming chef and an unforgettable view.
My friend and I were in Greece a total of 16 days. We visited Athens and 3 islands. Our 12 course meal here was the best food we ate our entire time in Greece! The price is well worth the experience. We met some great people and had a fabulous time. You should not miss this if you are in Athens!
What an amazing experience! Giannis was such gracious host, and the 10 course traditional Greek meal was out of this world. As a trained chef, Giannis's offerings could not have been more pleasing. My wife was so impressed she even bought his cookbook online right from the meal. All of this on a balcony with a view of the Acropolis!
This was an amazing experience and meal. The view was beautiful, and each course was outstanding. This dining experience came highly recommended from someone I know, and it did not disappoint! Truly a must for anyone visiting Athens looking for an excellent, traditional Greek meal.
Giannis, thank you so, so much for such an incredible meal and overall experience! It was hands down the most unique and favorite part of our entire trip! Thank you for letting us into your home and guiding us through such a delicious tour of Greek cuisine!
Wow, what a feast! Every single dish was packed with flavor and so fresh. Honestly though, the highlight was the amazing company and making a new friend! Thank you for everything, Giannis! We will definitely be back for more!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for welcoming us into your home! That dinner was truly unforgettable and completely blew us away—it honestly exceeded every expectation! It was so wonderful to connect with you and dive into the world of authentic Greek comfort food!
This was a very delicious introduction to Greek food. Everything was amazing and the chefs and host were very lovely. The view to the Acropolis was also breathtaking.
I had an amazing dinner here with my Flash Pack group the first night of our trip. It was a great way to get to know the people on my tour in a quiet and authentic setting. The food was absolutely delicious (they were some of my favorite dishes of our entire 9-day trip across Athens, Mykonos and Santorini) and our hosts were so kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Athens - a must do!
This unforgettable evening featured an incredible 12-course meal by chef Giannis and immaculate hosting by Konstantinos. Set on a terrace overlooking the Acropolis, the event combined exceptional food and wine with wonderful global company. It was a truly special, cherished experience.
Giannis and Konstantinos are two wonderful hosts. Super delicious dishes, personally accompanied by explanations. And don’t worry: there are more than enough! 😉 You sit at a long table overlooking the Acropolis and thus also have the opportunity to meet new people. An absolute recommendation for someone who not only wants to eat, but wants to experience Greek cuisine.
Wow... where do I even begin? This was, without question, the best meal I had during my entire trip to Greece. The 10-course tasting menu was an incredible journey through the country's different regions, and every single dish was bursting with authentic flavors and prepared with so much care and passion. I've eaten at many Greek restaurants in the United States over the years, but nothing comes close to this experience. It completely changed my understanding of what Greek cuisine can be. Beyond the amazing food, the hospitality was truly outstanding. The hosts made everyone feel at home, sharing the stories behind the dishes and creating such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. It felt less like dining out and more like being invited into the home of friends who happen to be exceptional chefs. If you're visiting Athens and want a genuine Greek food experience, don't miss this. It was the highlight of my trip, and I'd come back in a heartbeat. Thank you for such an unforgettable evening!
Amazing food, beautiful view, great hosts!! Did I mention amazing foods.
If you're wondering whether this experience is worth it, stop thinking and book it. It was hands down the best meal we had in Greece and one of the most memorable travel experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, Giannis and Konstantinos made us feel like old friends rather than guests. The evening wasn't just about incredible food—it was about Greek hospitality, culture, stories, laughter, and meeting wonderful people from around the world. The food just kept coming! Every dish was homemade, beautifully presented, and represented a different region of Greece. The moussaka, tzatziki and traditional specialties were better than anything we found in restaurants during the rest of our trip. Come hungry because you'll leave absolutely full! The setting is just as special as the meal. Watching the sunset and the Acropolis light up from the balcony while enjoying local wine and conversation is something we'll never forget. This isn't a restaurant. It's an evening spent in the home of two amazing brothers who genuinely love sharing their country, their food, and their traditions. By the end of the night, it felt like we had made friends rather than simply had dinner. If you're visiting Athens, make this one of the first things you do. Next time we're in Greece, we'll definitely be back.
Absolutely fabulous - both brothers worked together to provide us with most enjoyable evening of great food, insightful education, and whole lot of fun!
We did a two week tour around Greece and this was by far our best tasting meal. If you’re looking for authentic Greek food made with a huge amount of love, this is the place.
Giannis provided an amazing experience, introducing us to ten traditional meals. The flavor and thoughtfulness of each dish was top notch and his homemade ouzo was a great drink. We will definitely enjoy a dinner with Giannis again.
Dinner with Giannis & Konstantinos was one of my favorite experiences in Athens. The food was incredible! Every plate was special, and there were so many courses! As each dish was served, the history of the dish and the fresh ingredients used were explained. The view from the patio is incredible and the family very welcoming. I will absolutely visit them again!
What a lovely evening! We were celebrating my cousin's birthday and had literally just come off of a cruise and a case of a lot of eating. To sit in the comfort of Gianni's home and to be served a 10-course home cooked meal was absolutely wonderful, not to mention the view of the Acropolis in the distance! Gianni and his brother, Konstantinos, were perfect hosts. Chef Gianni prepared a delicious meal and everyone came away with full and happy tummies. They were gracious and very accommodating of my allergies. My cousin had an unforgettable birthday and even had a very special Greek cake! We had a private dining experience and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend this experience!
An amazing experience. The food was delicious. The rooftop view of the Acropolis lite up was really nice. The Chef and his brother totally welcomed us into their home. When we go back to Athens; we will definitely do this again.
I definitely recommend this dinner with Giannis & Konstantinos. There were 8 of us traveling together to Greece. We asked our travel agent to recommend a restaurant for the 8 of us to start our trip. He recommended this dining experience. Have dinner in the home of 2 Greek brothers. It was so much fun! The brothers made all of us feel right at home. We felt like part of the family when we left. The food wad DELICIOUS and there was a lot of it. Every time we thought we might be finished, another course arrived. It was an incredible way to start our trip. One word of advice...they are in a residential area. We were staying close to the Marina. We didn't plan enough time to get to their apartment. That was our fault, not theirs. So make sure you give yourself enough time to get there.
It was just my wife and I at Giannis apartment on this evening, but he made us very welcome. He is a really talented chef and we had an amazing selection of dishes. The view of the Acropolis from his terrace was wonderful.
The food was truly authentic, with traditional Greek dishes prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients and incredible attention to flavour. What really elevated the experience was the outstanding hospitality. Giannis and Konstantinos were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making guests feel comfortable and well looked after. To top it all off, the view of the Acropolis was absolutely breath taking. A perfect combination of delicious food, warm hospitality, and a spectacular setting — highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Greek cuisine in a truly magical location.
What an absolutely stellar experience! I went with my husband and parents and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the company excellent, and the food delicious. Not to mention the great view from Giannis's balcony. All around and excellent way to spend time with someone local to Athens who will give you a culinary experience you won't soon forget!
We had dinner at Giannis and Konstantinos' place on May 21st, 2025, as a group of eight. The experience was excellent. The food was great. Ten homemade Greek dishes, each one explained to us as it was served. We had beer and wine options, plus a welcome drink. Everything was served on their balcony with a clear view of the Acropolis. The hosts were friendly, shared details about the food, and gave us space to enjoy the evening as a group. At the end, they shared the recipes, which was a very nice touch. If you're looking for a relaxed and genuine dinner in Athens, this is a perfect choice.
It was an absolutely wonderful experience and I highly recommend it to everyone! It was a magical evening, with sweeping views of the Acropolis, the most amazing food that I've ever tasted and great company.
This being our first trip to Athens, we wanted an experience to remember and we found it! Our hosts were charming and relaxed. The view from the patio where we dined was truly spectacular. The food was next level. Not only was it delicious, it was authentic and plentiful. Absolutely the best meal/experience we had while in Greece. chairetismoús kai efcharistó
Awesome meal. Probably the best meal I had my entire time in Greece. Great hosts and a great view. Come hungry and know that the food never stops coming!
A one of a kind experience with incredible homemade Greek dishes in an intimate setting overlooking the Acropolis delivered by two of the most friendly and gracious hosts! What more could you ask for?? I thought it was much better than a traditional food tour. An unforgettable evening!!
What a fabulous evening, great hosts, fantastic food and drink with an amazing view. Highly recommend and I will certainly visit again when next in Athens.
This was the best dinner, and best experience we had in Athens BY FAR. My wife, her parents, and I went to Giannis’s from a friend’s recommendation. So did the other couple that shared the night with us… came from a friend’s recommendation. You know it’s gonna be good when all the people who came to a shared experience was recommended to them by someone they knew. The dinner was extravagant, yet understated. Incredibly flavors, the view was amazing, and Konstantinos was an in incredibly friendly and insightful host. When we’re back in Athens, we will ABSOLUTELY be doing this again. Truly one of a kind, put on by two incredibly genuine, hilarious, and talented people.
Giannis & Konstantinos hosted us for an absolutely amazing dinner during our stay in Athens! Food was excellent and our hosts were knowledgeable and very welcoming. Would recommend for anyone coming to Athens! We now use Giannis cookbook at home!
Amazing experience. Had the pleasure of spending a few evening hours eating local specialties with family and friends. We had a large group of 20+ people, celebrating a birthday. It was a great view, and the food was even better. Definitely book this.
We loved our experience and it was truly the best meal we had in all of Greece, which is saying a lot! The hosts were so lovely and hospitable
Dinner with Gianis and Konstantinos was truly one of the highlights of our trip! We enjoyed every dish and the conversation was delightful!. Be adventurous and dine with locals - you’ll not regret it!
Wow! We were blown away! The food was delicious and abundant - there was no way we could eat it all! The view of the Acropolis was beautiful, making it magical. Our host was so charming - highly recommend!!!!
I was in Athens with family and friends for my 50th birthday and stumbled upon the opportunity to have a homemade dinner in a great apartment in Athens. The food was spectacular and everyone had a wonderful evening! One of our guests has a nut allergy and they were able to accommodate. This is one of the best ways to experience Greece in casual, authentic way. I will do it again on my next trip!
This was one of the highlights of our trip to Athens. The food was fabulous, and our host was interesting and informative. The view was breathtaking. I highly recommend this experience. It is a great value also as there were so many delicious, authentic Greek dishes to try. A bonus is our host published his own cookbook.
We went in October and had the most amazing night. Giannis was absolutely incredible and truly went above and beyond. He was such a warm and welcoming host — we enjoyed 10 delicious, authentic Greek dishes and even met a lovely American couple who made the evening even more special. Incredible food, wonderful company, and genuine Greek hospitality. Highly recommended! 💙🍷🍽️
Best food, great view, amazing company. 10/10 experience! I traveled with a group of strangers and by the end of this dinner we were all friends.
Really great food prepared by Giannis. While I was impressed with the selection, I would have liked to see more authentic Greek types of entrees. Absolutely loved the Spetzofai. The 10 courses meal was, in my estimation a bit starter heavy. Kostas was a great host and explained each dish. Overall a great experience.
What a great evening and food experience. If you are in Athens and want to live something amazing with a great CHEF and family, then that's your chance. The menu that Giannis propose you, makes you travel thru every greek regions. A wine and food experience that you can't miss. Thanks again for your warm welcome and agreable service with a great view of the Acropole.
Such a warm welcome, delicious food and a great view of the Acropolis from the family balcony where we dined. We were a group of 14 and thouroughly enjoyed our evening with this charming attentive Greek family.
This was hands down my best and favorite dinner in Athens! If you want to have a "home cooked meal" with an amazing view of the Acropolis, this is the place. The 10 courses were beyond amazing (just don't fill up too much on the first few courses!), service was top notch, and our group thoroughly enjoyed chatting in a comfortable setting. Can't recommend enough!
Amazing! Dinner was a delicious 10 course meal prepared at the chef’s family home, whose brother served & presented each course with a story behind it, local wines, & a beautiful rooftop view of the city showcasing the brightly lit Acropolis. 10 out of 10!
We had a wonderful night in Athens with Giannis and Konstantinos. The food was incredible and G & K warmly welcomed us into their home. We met a number of other guests who like us enjoyed some of the best food we had in Greece. We caught the train to the venue and an Uber back to the hotel. We enjoyed every part of the evening and would recommend it to anyone visiting Athens.
What a great way to spend an evening!! We were welcomed with cocktails and an outstanding view of the Acropolis. The Food was plenty and delicious!!! This was our first meal in Greece and set the bar so high !! The hospitality and quality of the evening make this a truly memorable experience!
I absolutely loved this experience. Giannis is an INCREDIBLE chef. and Konstantinos is such a great host! We sat on Giannis's terrace with a brilliant view of the Acropolis. 11 courses and two hours later I was full of some of the most delicious food I've ever had, had great company (this event attracts some really amazing people from all over the world), had great wine, great company, great food... all of it. Just truly a special evening I will never forget. Thank you both for making this such a special event for us! We will cherish it forever.
Great opportunity to taste the best of Greek food with amazing wine and tasty desserts! The service is 100% amazing and the view is absolutely impeccable!!
