Greek Cooking Class in Athens Including Rooftop Dinner with Acropolis View
Overview
Our cooking class will make the authentic Greek Moussaka dish and Spanakopita pie by opening your phyllo pastry (Spinach pie).
We will make two classic traditional pies: Spinach pie and Milk pie. In addition to making homemade pies, we will prepare Greek island-inspired salad with cherry tomatoes aromatized with aged local vinegar and Greek yogurt tzatziki sauce.
Our kitchen is a few steps from Monastiraki square in the funky neighborhood of Psirri. I'll wait for you there, on the rooftop terrace with Acropolis views.
We'll start preparations and chat to break the ice and talk about Greek and Mediterranean cuisine; then, I'll show you the ingredients we'll need.
Then the cooking class can begin!
When we are finished, we will cook, eat, and savor our food together with amazing views of the Acropolis monuments and Parthenon temple lit at night and the vivid center of Athens overlooking the dome of Aghios Dimitrios church.
We don't have a gluten-free option.
Vegetarians are welcome!

What an outstanding experience learning to cook Greek dishes with Chef Stamatis. Not only did we learn about the food and culture, this personable young chef was very well organized and entertaining as he led us through the preparation of each dish. Everyone participated as each dish was lovingly prepared. The finale was a wonderful dinner, nice location and laughing with new friends. This will be one of our favorite memories of Athens. I would highly recommend this experience, even for non-cooks.
