About this experience
Our venue, “The Greek cooking lab”, offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels just like home, located in one of Athens’ most vibrant and historic districts. It's conveniently situated just a short 5-minute walk from the Monastiraki metro station. Your culinary hands-on experience will be guided by an experienced and enthusiastic instructor who brings traditional Greek family recipes to life. After our cooking is completed, you'll enjoy the homemade meal you have crafted, accompanied by a glass of local wine and of course your fellow food enthusiasts (groups are max 8 persons) — no need to worry about cleanup, we’ve got that covered! If you have any dietary requirements (vegetarian, gluten free, allergies), please let us know through the messaging system at least 1 day in advance, as we’re unable to accommodate last-minute requests.

Loved this class!
We loved this class! The instructor was amazing! We had a great time visiting and cooking. He explained well while we were preparing each dish.

Great experience. This...
Great experience. This is a very hands on cooking class where everything is made from scratch. Then you enjoy a meal with all the dishes you created. Highly recommended.
via Viator
Highly Recommend! Even for those that don't cook much
Our cooking class with Pavlos was terrific and the best way to end our trip to Athens! He was nice, patient, and knowledgeable. The experience was fun and interactive, and it was great to enjoy the fruits of our labor afterwards. With his guidance, the food turned out delicious. And we plan to replicate the recipes at home for our family that wasn't on the trip with us.

hands on!
Very lovely and relaxing cooking experience! My husband and I ended up being the only people in this class for the date and time we booked. We had good conversations and learned so many new tricks. We were provided with a brief history of the greek cuisine and where certain dishes come from. We put our aprons on and got to work! We were provided with delicious wine and snacks while cooking as well as olives from their olive tree. Very lovely experience, we were sent the recipes by email. Additionally, the host provided us with easy to follow directions on how to get to our cruise the next day, as well as certain shops to visit in Athens. 10/10 would recommend! Oh, I can’t forget… the food was delicious!!! And since we were the only ones in the class we got so much of it!

Must Do in Athens!
This cooking class was amazing and the teacher was so nice! We learned so much about Greek culture and are excited to take home these recipes for our families. You have to do this class!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens?
+
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 Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens?
+
Around 5 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hands On Greek Cooking Classes in Athens 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 Small Group E-Bike Tour, Small Group Greek Traditional Food Tour in Athens 20+ Tastings, Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis. 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.
