Private Athens Market Tour & Greek Cooking Class With Chef Marina

Μενού & γευσιγνωσία

Join Marina, a Michelin-star trained chef in her Athens home kitchen for a hands-on cooking class that blends time-honored Greek recipes with a fresh, creative touch. Over the course of three hours, you'll learn to prepare 2–3 delicious dishes inspired by her grandmother’s recipes, updated with Marina’s own modern flair. You might make hilopites, a traditional Greek egg pasta served with mizithra cheese, or slow-cooked lamb or beef in a rich tomato sauce with trahana, a fermented grain beloved in Greek cuisine. You'll also prepare a seasonal salad using fresh, local ingredients. After cooking, gather around the table to enjoy the meal you've prepared, served with a glass of Greek wine. End on a sweet note with a light, creamy yogurt panna cotta infused with chamomile and honey, a modern take on a classic Greek dessert. If you choose the market tour option, spend 40 min exploring a farmers' market brimming with fresh, seasonal produce. Marina introduces you to her favorite local vendors and selects ingredients for your cooking class. Along the way, you’ll learn how to identify high-quality Greek produce, discover what’s in season, and even enjoy a few tastings before your class.
