A small-group Athens cooking class at a city-center taverna, hands-on Greek starters, mains, dessert, plus an Acropolis-view dinner.
“The class led by Chef Niki was excellent. Everything explained well and lots of foodie information. Unfortunately the service following the class by the restaurant left much to be desired and the hot food was cold by the time delivered. This is not meant to be critical of the class itself”

Hands-on Athens Greek cooking class at Hill Athens. Cook a 3-course Sunday dinner, sip local wine, and take home recipes for $115.
“This cooking class was amazing! Stella was a fantastic host, she was super friendly, made sure everyone was involved in the process and gave us lots of personal hints and tips which made the class extra special. We made everything ourselves, nothing was pre-made. The restaurant had a view of the acropolis so we got to watch the sunset over that as we ate our delicious creations. We received a binded copy of all the recipes we made so we can try and recreate them at home. We had so much fun and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn how to cook authentic Greek cuisine.”
Night coach views of the illuminated Parthenon, then a Plaka taverna dinner and live Greek dancing show with hotel pickup.
“The meal was the best part. As for seeing lights or anything for that matter, it wasn’t good. We saw more during the day. The guide left a lot to be desired.”

Private Delphi and Meteora day trip from Athens with Thermopylae, hotel pickup, and a full Greek dinner. 14 hours, great UNESCO value.
“Everyone warned me that traveling as a solo Mom with her son might be dangerous for a private tour. Wrong. Panos was great!! We arrived back at our hotel with both kidneys and not kidnapped. So in short, these guys are friendly and safe. Now back to the tour. Panos was great with explaining Meteora. It was a magical view. He stopped a few times. I suggest getting a snack when you stop because dinner is at the very end. Thermopulae was underwhelming but thats not the tour guides fault... and it was cool to see where a lot of 300 supposedly happened. Delphi was gorgeous. The hike to the…”
3-hour Plaka night: hotel pickup, Acropolis views, dinner at a historic taverna, and Greek folk dance with live music.
