Learn to cook real Greek food — with a view
Head to a much-loved rooftop in vibrant Monastiraki, cook traditional Greek dishes with an experienced chef, then enjoy your 3-course dinner overlooking the Acropolis.
4 hours of real Greek cooking
Head to a much-loved rooftop patio in the vibrant Monastiraki neighbourhood, where you'll be taught how to prepare and cook classic Greek dishes by an experienced chef. The meeting point is at Melanthiou 4 inside the Artist boutique hotel — about a 10-minute walk from Monastiraki metro station.
Get a taste of authentic Greek cuisine during this 4-hour cooking class. You'll be taught how to prepare and cook classic Greek dishes — from tzatziki to spinach pie — with hands-on guidance. Numbers are limited to 12 people, ensuring a genuinely small-group experience with personal attention from the chef.
When your work is done, join your fellow food-lovers on the rooftop to enjoy your freshly prepared 3-course dinner with out-of-this-world views of the city and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Acropolis of Athens. The activity ends back at the meeting point.
