Cooking Classes

If you’re visiting Nafplio, in the heart of the Peloponnese, and would love to learn how to cook authentic Greek dishes, you’re in the right place!

Let me take you on a culinary journey through the flavours of Greece, using only the freshest, high-quality ingredients and time-honoured family recipes. My hands-on cooking classes are designed to be fun, interactive, and suitable for all levels of experience.

Whether you’re a passionate foodie or a complete beginner, you’ll learn how to cook everything from scratch while experiencing the warmth of true Greek hospitality.

What to Expect

My classes are usually one-day courses, tailored to suit your schedule and preferences. Sessions typically last 4 to 6 hours, depending on the number of dishes you choose to prepare.

You’ll learn to make a multi-course traditional Greek meal, and at the end of the class, we’ll sit down together to enjoy what you’ve cooked—accompanied by delicious local wine or beer.

Highlights of the Experience

  • Vegetarian options available on request
  • Private or small group hands-on cooking classes in English
  • Held in my home, just 7 km from Nafplio, surrounded by citrus trees and peaceful countryside
  • Cook with extra virgin olive oil, local produce, and fresh seasonal ingredients
  • Learn about Greek culture, traditions, herbs, and regional ingredients in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere
  • Recipes include a main dish, an appetizer, a dip, a salad, and dessert.

Optional Farmers’ Market Visit

If your class falls on a Wednesday or Saturday, small groups (up to 4 people) can join me on a visit to the local farmers’ market to select fresh produce for the class—a truly immersive experience!

Seasonal Delights

In winter, you might pick mandarins and oranges straight from our trees. In spring, enjoy your meal outdoors, surrounded by the unforgettable scent of citrus blossoms.

Custom Classes for Larger Groups

If you’re travelling with a group of more than 8 people, I’d be happy to create a custom-made program for you. Just send me an email or fill in the contact form to arrange your special class.

Take a Taste of Greece Home With You

By the end of your experience, you’ll feel confident recreating a Greek-themed dinner at home, impressing family and friends with your new skills and delicious dishes!
