    We had an amazing time! It’s not just about the amazing food we had, but the history of the area and the influences from different cultures that formed who they are today. We even had a 2 year old with us!

    Cooking class with Dionysia
    Kathleen_K, Nov 2023
    My husband Michael and I had a wonderful experience, enjoyed the food, her home and her family. I do recommend this cooking class Kathi and Michael Kulikowski

    Hi Kathleen, Thanks for your great review! We’re delighted to hear that you loved your Eatwith experience with Dionysia - we know they feel the same way! Happy travels, we look forward to hearing about your next Eatwith!
    Best way to experience Greek Food
    Alex_R, Oct 2023
    I cannot say enough great things about this experience. Dionysia was a great host, welcomed us into her home with her family, and immediately made us feel comfortable. Our wine cups were never empty and we left incredibly full of great authentic Greek food. Everything you eat and drink is fresh and is evident in the flavor. We did this experience at the beginning of our vacation in Greece and are really happy we did. Dionysia was able to give us recommendations for authentic Greek dishes to try (some that may not be on the menu but every Greek restaurant has) and how to select the best restaurants while avoiding some of the tourist traps. This is the experience for you if you want a light hearted evening full of laughter and good food while doing as the Greeks do and learning about real Greek culture. Side Tip - if you aren’t impressed already - be sure to ask Dionysia about her hobby at the beach. I’ll let her tell the rest but it’s pretty unique. Thank you again Dionysia and family for letting us into your home and joining you for dinner.

    What a fun and yummy experience

    This was my favorite experience visiting Athens. Learning to make the most amazing pita and authentic gyros in a welcoming and hospitable setting. Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed this cooking class. I cannot wait to try to recreate the recipes at home. Our host family was simply the BEST. If you enjoy cooking and learning about local foods, you must take this class! You will not forget it! Nor will you leave hungry. A+++++++ 😊
