Experience Details

This experience focuses on the most loved flavors of Greek street food and shows how authentic Greek cooking can be simple, fun and accessible. Instead of a long and complicated class, travelers learn to prepare a small selection of iconic dishes using fresh ingredients and traditional techniques.

One of the highlights of the class is learning how to work with handmade phyllo dough, a traditional skill that many visitors find both surprising and exciting. Guests cook in pairs, creating a relaxed and social atmosphere where everyone participates in the cooking process.

In a short time, participants prepare a full Greek street-food style meal — from savory dishes like gyros, tzatziki and cheese pies to a traditional saragli dessert made with crispy phyllo and syrup.

The experience ends the most Greek way possible: sharing the food we cooked together around the table, enjoying wine, conversation and the warm hospitality of Greek cuisine.

What You’ll Experience

Learn how to cook authentic Greek street food in this fun and hands-on cooking class in Athens, where you’ll prepare gyros, handmade phyllo cheese pies and tzatziki before enjoying the meal together. After a short introduction, you will start by preparing dough for traditional handmade phyllo. While the dough rests, you will season and prepare delicious Greek gyros, which will cook slowly in the oven. Next, you will make a refreshing tzatziki sauce using creamy Greek yogurt, fresh cucumber, garlic and olive oil. Then it's time to open the handmade phyllo and shape your own traditional cheese pies. Once everything is ready, we gather around the table to enjoy the dishes we prepared together. The meal is served with warm pita bread, olives and unlimited Greek wine. Guests cook in pairs so that everyone actively participates in the cooking process. This class is perfect for travelers who want to experience authentic Greek cooking in a fun and easy way, without spending the whole day in the kitchen.
