Mykonos Cooking Class: Learn Greek Recipes in a Traditional Home

Cook Greek food the way a Mykonian family does, in their whitewashed home overlooking the Aegean.

A small-group cooking class in Mykonos where you prepare authentic Greek and Mykonian recipes in a traditional island home, guided by a local hostess with an English-speaking translator. You'll learn family techniques passed down through generations, then eat a five-course meal featuring the dishes you helped create, paired with local red and white wines. Choose a morning class with lunch or a sunset class with dinner. Round-trip transfer from your hotel is included.

The experience

You'll spend four hours in a traditional whitewashed home with panoramic Aegean views, working alongside your local hostess to prepare a rotating menu of classic Greek dishes. The menu changes weekly and might include Greek salad, tzatziki, strapatsada, a main course such as moussaka or souvlaki, and loukoumades with honey and cinnamon for dessert. The hostess speaks Greek primarily. An English-speaking escort translates and helps guide you through each step. Because this is a hands-on class, not a demonstration, you're actively involved in the cooking from start to finish, learning the techniques and stories behind each dish.

After cooking, you sit down together to eat everything you've made, a five-course meal served family-style and paired with local red and white wines. The timing you choose shapes the mood: a morning class ends with a relaxed lunch, while the sunset option means you cook as the light turns golden over the sea, then eat as the day closes. Round-trip transfer from your hotel or rental apartment is included. If you're staying elsewhere on the island, you can arrange pickup for an additional cost by contacting the operator after booking. Dietary needs are accommodated on request, and the class suits all skill levels.
