Greek Cooking Class In Athens Including Rooftop Dinner With Acropolis View

This was an absolute must do. Chef was fabulous, everyone in the class was fun and interesting and the food was terrific. Learned some new tricks that we’ll tack back with us!

This was a top tier experience. We had 14 people in the class and Stam was an excellent host and instructor. He led us through five dishes providing tips and tricks along the way as well as the keys to each dish. He had us genuinely helping with the cooking which I think will help us learn it better. And the food was stunning - while I don’t eat a ton of Greek, so maybe I’m not the best authority - I honestly feel that each dish was the best version of that dish that I have personally had. Just absolutely delicious. And the rooftop dining with great company was a perfect way to end the event.

Our chef Costas was great! He was very knowledgeable and funny, very easy to get along with and made people of every skill level feel welcome. 60% of the class was him guiding us through preparing communal ingredients like filings and sauces. He did ask for various helpers to chop and stir, but was very low pressure and encouraging. 40% near the end was him guiding us through assembling our individual dishes. If you intend to remake the recipes, take notes as you go. PDFs of recipes are sent via your booking info, but they are very basic and do not include important details. We made extensive notes to ours from memory immediately after the class so we wouldn't forget. It would be nice if paper copies were provided in class as well.

The four of us had a great experience cooking and chatting with a wonderful chef and guests. The chef was also quite tolerant of my cooking skills and was an excellent instructor! After several hours of prepation, we enjoyed our meal with a nice selection of wine pairing (extra charge) with a view of the Acropolis. Need I say anymore? This was a really fun experience. If you go, you're in for a memorable evening.

Spiros was absolutely great. We really enjoyed his personality and all his knowledge. We really learned a lot of new things about the Greek cuisine. Although we would have preferred to actually do more than just stirring and chopping. It’s a lot of standing and listening. Also not a single drink is included. We cooked not on a rooftop but in a cellar and the dinner was on a rooftop but the acropolis was not visible.

Very well organized and well paced activity. Kitchen was clean and efficient. Recipes were a good representation of Greek cuisine. Among the very best travel experiences in decades.

Fantastic class! Spyros sustained a fun, inviting and interactive environment from the moment he greeted us until he said goodbye. Everyone participated, accommodations were made when possible and we truly learned how to prepare the delicious dishes at home. The best cooking class I’ve participated in yet!

Amazing experience and food. Spyros was so much fun. This class was worth every penny

Wonderful experience! A lot of fun and food was great. Yes alittle tuff to find but great facility once you do. 5 stars for sure!!!

Great people who taught well to all ages, facilities were clean and professional, everyone was engaged and it was a very enjoyable experience, highly recommend

Was very well organized; lots of hands-on involvement. Chef got everyone involved. Explanations were very good.

Hands down the best experience in Athens . We had so much fun the chief was amazing and was the most awesome teacher. Our food came out great and we all sat down and ate with amazing views of the acropolis. I would give more stars if I could

What a great night - the chef was fantastic and the food was incredible even if we did cook it ourselves!

Fun and informative class on traditional Greek dishes led by a great chef!

An absolutely fabulous experience. Our chef, Kostas, was a terrific host and instructor who expertly led the group through all of the steps to prepare a traditional five course Greek meal. Not only did we learn how to prepare these delicious items, we had a wonderful rooftop dinner afterwards where we feasted on our completed food items. The class was very well organized and Kostas kept us entertained with his instruction and humour. Meeting the other participants in the class and sharing a relaxing meal together afterwards added to the joy of the experience. Highly recommend!

The food was amazing, the chef was informative, passionate and entertaining. Well organized. Good participation and wonderful meal at the end.

Absolutely a must do in Athens. Great experience. We ended our trip with this gem and it was an informative experience and very hands on. Our chefs were amazing, friendly and great hosts. Recommend to everyone who has falling in love with Greek cuisine.

We had an amazing time and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Food was fantastic, if I do say so myself, and the Chef was not only entertaining but informative, talented, sweet and patient. I think I'm a Yia-Yia now! It was a great experience and I'd highly recommend. chef Spyros, you have a wonderful class and we hope to come back to learn more.

Amazing experience with Spyros! We learned a lot about (yes) cooking but also Greek culture behind the dishes. He was very personable and made the class enjoyable.

Stam was a wonderful chef and teacher! He gave us a lot of little secrets to great Greek food. We loved the entire experience… from mingling with the group to the amazing dishes. Best Moussaka in Greece!

Come hungry! You’ll make some fabulous food and will want to eat every last bite! The class was a lot of fun! A must-do to enjoy authentic Greek cuisine! Chef Spyro is wonderful ! 👏👏👏

Great experience with Stam as a great guide/chef teaching both great cooking techniques as well as being very hospitable during dinner!

This is a wonderful hands on cooking experience with delicious recipes. Stam, our chef was personable and very knowledgeable. His instructions included great stories about Greek food and history, and the recipes were just the right level for a class this size (we were 10 in all). We greatly enjoyed this activity- one the highlights of our stay in Athens.

Spiros had asked if any of us had made Moussaka before, I said that I had. He adked if I was ready to make it better? Answer; Absolutely! I did learn ways to improve my recipes. Had a fantastic time while doing that. We all participated in various areas so dome of it was hands on and not just observation. Spiros was funny and informative. We did have some serious time. At the end we ate the fruits of our labor. Extremely enjoyable!

This was one of the best cooking classes we’ve done. Stam, the chef, was very personable and explained not only the steps but also the history and cultural significance of each ingredient and dish. Very hands on and it culminates with eating all the creations on the rooftop terrace. Extremely enjoyable!

We had a fun time and a delicious dinner with Spiros. He did a great job teaching us the dishes and entertaining us at the same time. I was surprised we had to pay for the wine. It wasn't much but I thought it was included. We also enjoyed going to the rooftop and sitting down together. I would recommend.

A wonderful experience. Delicious food and patient chef. Wine pairing for 22 euros additional (4 glasses). An excellent way to spend an evening in Athens!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Highlight of our trip! Our chef, Stam was kind, funny, informative, and accommodating. The food was amazing!

The cooking class followed by rooftop dining with Stamatis, our instructor, was one of the highlights of our vacation in Athens. He is a great teacher and very entertaining. We had so much fun and experienced Greek food and culture in a different way. Would highly recommend!

We enjoyed this very much. Our chef, Spiro was such fun and shared to much information. We cooked some really good food.

The chef was awesome and easy to follow. Everything we cooked was delicious! The wine also good and paired well with the dishes we made.

It was informative and a fun experience. The chef was energetic and engaged all of us. We would definitely book this class again.

Very fun and interactive cooking class. Host was very descriptive and knowledgeable while adding fun.

What a fun time! Our chef, Stam, was amazing. Engaging and funny while teaching us new skills. Stam ensured everyone was involved and explained everything clearly. The food was delicious and we enjoyed it on the rooftop terrace with a view of the Acropolis. One of the highlights of our trip!

This class was well planned, and very fun. Low stress activity. The chef was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend!!!

The cooking experience was great. Our cooking guide stand was truly wonderful and the food was delicious and it was a great experience.

The class was outstanding. It was offered in a nice location and the instructor, Stam, was excellent. Not only was he knowledgeable and funny but he did an excellent job of explaining how to prepare the food. We had several dishes that were all very good. I would highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn more about Greek food and how to prepare it and who wants to have a lot of fun.

We had so much fun and really learned about Greek food! It was outstanding and we are so glad we chose this class. Our chef/instructor was excellent!!

Fun evening with an incredible menu. We all had a great time learning how to make some delicious dishes. If anything, it was too much food, but very delicious.

What a fun and easy way to experience Greek food that you get to make yourself. Very comfortable environment of about 12 people. The chef was funny and easy going and made the couple hours enjoyable and relaxed. The wine pairing made it even better.

I have been to several cooking classes in the past when traveling. This by far was the best one. I learned several practical techniques in addition to several recipes. Spyros was a fun and thoughtful teacher. Highly recommend for a fun and delicious experience.

The Artist Athens cooking class with Spiros was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! The class was incredibly fun from start to finish, and Spyros was a fantastic instructor. He made everyone feel welcome, explained the techniques clearly, and shared great insights into authentic Greek cuisine and culture. The other participants were wonderful as well, which made the experience even more enjoyable and interactive. Most importantly, the food was beyond delicious. We learned how to prepare authentic Greek dishes that we can actually recreate at home, and every dish was packed with flavor. It was such a rewarding experience to learn the traditions and techniques behind the recipes. If you're visiting Athens and looking for a unique, memorable activity, I would absolutely recommend this class. Great food, great people, and a great instructor. It was an experience we won't forget!

This was a last minute idea and it was great. We were in a group of 15 people. The chef was fun and quite knowledgeable. He kept us a busy. We learned a lot. And the food was fantastic. Also, good view of the Acropolis at night and the local neighborhood is lovely. Very highly recommend this. Chef Stam was great!!!

Stam made the experience fun and kept all 12 of our group and 2 new friends engaged with humor and relevant facts about Greece and its delicious foods. We laughed and learned and realized we created something worth trying again once returning. Thanks Stam!

We had an awesome night with Stam cooking four new Greek recipes. We loved the hands-on aspect as well as finding out the tricks needed to have a successful dish. Thanks for a memorable night,Stam and helpers. We appreciate your style ❤️

We had the best time participating in the cooking class and having a fabulous dinner on our last evening in Athens! My husband and I were placed in a group with 12 others, and we all had a blast. Stamatis, our chef/instructor, was a great teacher: He gave each of us assignments to ensure that everyone got to participate, gave us the history of the dishes we made, explained the importance of the ingredients, and injected humor into the process. We made spanakopita, moussaka, Aegean salad, tzatziki, and galatopita (milk pie). I don’t typically like fresh tomatoes, cooked spinach or eggplant, so I was a little hesitant about the menu … but everything was absolutely delicious! We got to enjoy our meal together on the Artist Hotel’s rooftop, where we also saw a beautiful sunset and a view of the Acropolis lit up after dark. We received the recipes as well, so hopefully I can recreate them at home. Highly recommend!

The class was so much fun. Our instructor was very personable and knowledgeable and made it a great experience. To top it off the food was delicious.

Excellent. The chef well deserves the best cooking class in Greece award! Lots of fun and well explained

This cooking class with Stamatis and Fotis was fantastic! Our traveling group does a cooking class every time we travel. The passion for cooking by Stamatis and Fotis was evident. We loved that they went into the cooking chemistry and gave up lots of cooking tips. The interactive cooking experience was both educational and fun! Then the final meal eaten on the rooftop restaurant was exemplary! We would highly recommend this class to fellow chefs and connoisseurs.
