What To Expect
We meet at our cooking studio and we start our culinary journey with a walk in the Athens Central Market -6 min on foot from the studio- in order to get a first taste of Greek gastronomic traditions and habits. (Market tour’s estimated duration: ~30 min. The market tour is available only in Mon-Sat morning tours, when the Central Market is open).
We return to the studio and begin our hands-on cooking experience, creating a Greek traditional menu consisted of 5 courses.
While cooking, we enjoy the lively rhythms of Greek music and a glass of excellent local wine. We then sit down to a delightful meal featuring the courses you crafted, just like being invited to a Greek home for dinner!
