Cook & Dine With A Local Greek Family In Thessaloniki
Step inside a real Greek family home and experience Thessaloniki the way locals truly live it — in the kitchen and around the family table. In a small, intimate group (max 9 guests), you’ll cook traditional Greek dishes from scratch, including iconic favorites such as moussaka, tzatziki, and bougiourdi, using fresh local ingredients and family recipes. No cooking experience is needed — we guide you step by step, just like cooking with family. After cooking, we share a homemade dinner served family-style, paired with local wine, ouzo, and tsipouro. As in every Greek home, everyone tastes and enjoys the food in their own way, while stories are shared and traditions come to life. The evening ends with a fun Greek dance lesson. We meet at Porto Palace Hotel and provide a short 10-minute transfer to our home. Featured by BBC & CNN.
