Authentic Greek Experience - What a fantastic experience! Our group really enjoyed the hospitality of Dionysia! I felt like we were in her home! The pitas and gyros were great, the best in Greece! Tzatziki was so easy to make and made to our own taste profiles! Highly recommend!

Bring the BEST souvenir from Greece!! - I came twice, once with my family and once with my friends here in Greece, and had a great experience each time! Mrs. Katafygi and her husband are incredibly lovely and the experience feels like you're cooking at home (except the food is much better). Each part of making the gyros like the meat and the pita bread is a great time and trust me, they end up tasting great every time. Everything is clean, always prepared for you, and is a great experience no matter who or how many people you bring (including young kids)! I've been in Greece for the past 3 months and these are still the best gyros I've had!

Most delicious few hours in Athens! - This cooking experience is so much fun. It’s delicious and informative. We loved our host! She has a great personality. I’m a travel agent and I know a good tour from a bad tour and this one was excellent. I would highly recommend. Note- I have a gluten allergy and she brought special GF ingredients for me to enjoy the experience just the same as everyone else. So thoughtful!

Amazing hands-on personalized experience - The cooking class was so amazing. The hospitality was great and I loved how we could adjust the recipes to our own preferences. The class was hands-on and everything was made from scratch. The food was so delicious and this was definitely the best cooking class I have ever taken.

Cooking with your Greek Cousin - This experience was memorable for so many reasons. It was like being invited to someone’s kitchen to make a meal. We felt like we were welcomed. Learning to make from scratch pita, chicken gyro meat, Tzatziki sauce and spicy feta sauce was amazing and definitely easy to recreate at home. We enjoy getting to know about not only the cooking but also impressions of life from a world view.

We had such a wonderful... - We had such a wonderful time! The Gyro making and meal we prepared was delicious! Dionysia and her husband were perfect host for our private group of four. We highly recommend taking a cooking class from Eat with Your Greek Cousin while visiting Athens. Thank you for your hospitality and welcoming us from Alabama USA!

If you’re in Athens, this is a must! We went as a family during our trip to Greece , and time with Dionysia was so fun! - Cooking with Dionysia was so fun! I would recommend it to anyone visiting Athens. We went as a family (kids 19 and 7) and we all had a good time. Not to mention, the food was the best we’ve had in Greece…and we’ve eaten at quite a few places! If you’re thinking about doing the class, do it! You won’t be disappointed!

Incredible food, incredible experience - Dionysia is awesome! This wasn't some impersonal basic class, this was cooking amazing food with passion. If you love food and you want to feel like you're cooking along with your favorite friend/family in their kitchen, this is the class for you. The food was simple, soul satisfying, and deeply delicious and I can't wait to try to recreate these dishes when we come home.

Fun and Delicious - We had a wonderful time visiting with our host, rolling up our sleeves and diving into our recipes. We prepared traditional pork gyros. The spice profile was aromatic and delivered an excellent flavor when the meat was fully cooked. Making the pita bread was fun. We make bread weekly and we are familiar with making pita. However, the flavor and texture of this particular pita recipe is out of the park, delicious! We made fresh tzatziki and spicy feta and a wonderful yogurt dessert. The best part was eating what we made. The flavors of the tzatziki, with the feta blended with the pork, wrapped around with that incredible pita bread was amazing!
