2.Athens Market Tour and Cooking Class in a Beautiful Garden

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 122 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $95

Meet Mara or Natalia at Monastiraki Square for a Central Market visit, then ride to a private home garden. Prepare Greek dishes such as dolmades, spanakopita, keftedakia, and tzatziki before sharing the meal with unlimited wine and ouzo.

“We had a wonderful time! The market tour was replaced with a stroll through Anafiotika, where Natalia shared stunning city views. The class was more about prepping than full cooking, but rolling grape leaves, meatballs, stuffed peppers, and spinach pies was so much fun—and everything tasted amazing. The garden setting to enjoy our food was beautiful. Highly recommend, just note it’s more appetizers than entrées.”

We ended having a lovely meal at Melanes cafe hosted by Maria and her husband. We didn't see the dairy or cheese…”

You get about two hours to walk among Mediterranean plants, herbs, fruit trees, and exotic species, plus a café break. English and Romanian guides are available, including drivers such as Jan and John.

“I would like to start off by saying our driver John was really nice. But that's where it ends, this tour is really expensive for what it is. It cost us in excess of 200 euro and the car we got was barely big enough to take us as a family to the gardens. I think that there is room for improvement on this tour. We are quite disappointed with it. The one star is for our driver.I would like to start off by saying our driver John was really nice.

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 4 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $56

Meet Renate in the hills of Lastos, just past the Othos sign, for a beginner-friendly clay workshop among the vines. Choose seasonal leaves, herbs, and flowers, press them into a hand-rolled slab, and create a botanical plate to take home. Materials and English guidance are included.

“Renate is op een hele goeie manier aanwezig tijdens de workshop om iedereen goed te helpen waar nodig is en mee te denken. Iedereen wordt heel erg vrij gelaten en alles is goed en mooi. Je krijgt ook veel vrijheid om zelf in de tuin te kiezen wat je wil. Daarnaast krijg je ook genoeg spullen om mee te werken. Het is super leuk om te doen met je partner maar ook een vriend/vriendin of kinderen. Wij hebben echt een mega leuke ochtend gehad en zouden t iedereen aanraden!”
