This was a very enjoyable...
This was a very enjoyable cooking class. We were taken through the process of creating 5 dishes. Everyone was allocated a task to complete in preparing the food, which gave some hands on experience. There was a visit to a local market to buy produce. When meal was completed we sat and enjoyed the fruits of our labour, with local wine included. The chef Thanassi was very good and explained everything well. It was well worth the effort. Book this one with confidence.

Great fun class
The class was a little hard for us to find, but we finally did! The instructor was great, he took us to the fresh air market. The meat side was fascinating. Didn't smell at all. Lots and lots of animals on the chopping block there! The seafood market didn't really smell like stinky fish, and no flies either. The fresh fruit, vegetables and fresh bread were lovely. The colors were outstanding. Olives forever! And delicious too! The instructor... He (who's name I can't say and now don't remember) was awesome. He explained everything and made it such a fun class. It was great! The food we prepared was awesome. Spanikopita, stuffed grape leaves (which I normally don't like), stuffed eggplants with tomatoes and fresh feta and tazikki. Made everything seem so easy. Such a fun day. We (my 2 girl friends and I) really really enjoyed it. You should go if you get a chance. Well worth it!

Yummy and fun!
So much fun! We loved going to the market first. Thanasis was wonderful. He not only coached us with cooking techniques, he also gave a lot of interesting information about the regions of Greece and where foods originate. Everything was delicious! We had a wonderful time with the other members of the group. Well worth it!

Excellent cooking experience!
We went through several markets to pick up ingredients for our cooking. We all shared in the making of several dishes. Our chef was fantastic. Knowledgeable, funny and friendly. We then got to eat everything we made. There was an abundance of food, plenty to take home with us. Such a wonderful experience. We are so glad we did this!

Why this scores 93
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine cost?
+
Prices start at €29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,198 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine?
+
Around 419 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens Classic Cooking Class with Market Visit and Wine start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
