Experience Details

Start the experience in our workshop; it's a handy place to leave anything you don't want to carry to the market.

Head to Varvakios Agora, the central produce market in Athens, here you cook will take you on a shopping walk to pick up ingredients, meet some of the local traders and discover a few places you might not have already seen! It's not a tour of the market, but it's still an experience!

Back to our kitchen, the hands-on experience will begin and you will be involved in the preparation of your dishes.

Your meal will be served with a serving of local organic wine and a shot of Greek digestive liquor.

End your time with us with a chance to relax, enjoy a drink with your food and let us take care of the dishes.

We are happy to cater to your dietary needs, please contact us using the messaging feature as soon as possible to let us know in advance as we can't do anything at the last minute.
