Greece's Favorite Street Food: Authentic Gyros Cooking Class in Athina - b6a53c3067a60f33b34dcba5e1d8341c

When you think of Greece, the first thing that pops in your mind is its food and of course, the all-time classic pita gyros! Join me for a private cooking class and I'll show you how to prepare from scratch this local fast food.

Enjoy this hands-on cooking experience in our house close to the seaside, where we'll make traditional tastings with fresh ingredients. As a welcome, we'll wait for you with a delicious Greek coffee or a typical drink called "rakomelo" for the more adventurous ones.

We'll kick off our cooking class by preparing some yummy appetizers or "meze" as we call it in Greek. Then it's time for the "hard work": prepare the dough for the pita bread and grill the meat needed for this mouth-watering dish. For dessert, try the sweet Patsavouropita or Mougatsa, two of my favorite sweet treats.

After all of your hard work, it's time to sit down and savor each of the dishes me prepared together. Will tell you more about our cuisine, traditions and what you shouldn't miss while in the city. But wait. The best part is yet to come! At the end of this delicious and fun cooking class, I will share with you the recipes of what we cooked and even something extra: my grandmother's recipe for the best tzatziki.

If you have any food preferences or diet restrictions, please let me know. I can personalize the experience according to your wishes. Don't forget to bring your appetite!

At the last minute, I decided to book this private cooking class for my mom, my daughter (10y/o) and myself. We didn’t exactly know what to expect as we didn’t wanna make tons of things that my daughter wouldn’t like, but we wanted to make something authentic to Greece & fir it to be hands on. We thought gyros would be perfect, so we booked two days before our experience. When we showed up, we had the best time! We never stopped smiling, talking & laughing. It was super hands-on. All the food was incredibly fresh and delicious. We also felt right at home. Dionysia was charming, fun & casual which made us felt feel just like family. We all walked away feeling amazing! Do not hesitate to book. You will learn so much and walk away with a totally authentic Greek experience. My mom, daughter and I know this will be a highlight from our Athens trip! We came home with a bag full of leftovers which we shared with my dad, husband & son the next day for lunch. Felt like Family

What a fun and memorable evening we shared with Dionysia! I had arranged a private cooking class for my daughter, two teenage grandchildren, our friends with their three teenagers and myself for our second evening in Athens. Dionysia was very warm and welcoming and her new space in this busy and bustling city was a quiet and beautiful respite. Everything was hands on. She gave us instructions and patiently demonstrated what to do then we prepared our own meal which was outstanding! We made gyros (chicken and pork), tzatziki sauce, spicy feta, and pita bread. I can’t wait to try these recipes at home! I would highly recommend this very fun and exceptional experience with Dionysia to those who wish to understand and enjoy the delicious wonders of Greek cooking.Cooking with Dionysia!

From beginning to end, the cooking class, its host, the space, and the hands-on food creations were excellent! We made pita bread that was delicious, tzatziki and a feta spread, chicken and pork cooked to perfection on the rotisserie, and even a simple but decadent dessert. All the vegetables, herbs, and seasonings were so fresh. We were made to feel right at home for a very authentic experience. Dionysia our host is knowledgeable about food, and weaves in rich Greek culture and belly-laughing stories. It was a memorable time for me and my family and I would highly recommend it! With these recipes I will be able to host Greek night in my home too! Thank you for the best night ever Dionysia! First Class Authentic Experience!

My friend and I had the loveliest time spending the evening with Dionysia. She was beyond welcoming and made us feel like we were just making dinner and catching up with β€œour Greek Cousin.” We started our evening preparing the dough for the homemade pitas, as we enjoyed wine and stories. Then prepped the pork and placed it on the rotisserie while we moved on to taziki and dessert. The evening was absolutely perfect! The food was amazing and we cannot wait to get home to recreate these recipes. We are very excited for our new friend’s future endeavors and hope we meet again sometime soon! This was definitely the highlight of the trip! The only bummer is we did it on day 2 of our 10 day trip, and I don’t think anything can top it! 7 more days to go before I can go home and make these dishes for my family and friends. Thank you my friend! Erica and HeidiDionysia-an evening with a Gree

My fiancΓ© and I joined Dionysia on our final day of our 2 week Greece holiday and it was the perfect way to end the trip! We had searched through several cooking class options and ultimately chose Dionysia for the fact that 1) it was to make gyros (our favorite!) which was not an option in any other ones we found and 2) all the previous reviews left. Dionysia helped us arrange a taxi to and from her house. She made us feel very comfortable upon our arrival and she had plenty of beer and wine for us to drink the whole time! We made so much food we were so full when we left we could barely move! Overall, we had so much fun and highly recommend this to anyone interested in a cooking class while in Athens. She also told us she’d be sending a copy of the recipes we made via email which we are so excited for. Awesome experience!

Dionysia was so much fun! Excellent English skills made the flow of the lesson easy and light. Getting to cook in her lovely garden was just great. And the foodβ€”we will be making everything she taught us! Homemade pita, various sauces, pork souvlaki, and a fabulous Greek dessert. It was a way to experience the real Greece, far from the crowds and sights. You won’t regret your afternoon with her and her family!Wonderful Food with A Wonderful Family

Our family (2 adults, 1 teen and 1 tween) had a wonderful time cooking with Dionysia! She (and her family) immediately made us all feel at home, and we enjoyed good conversation, food (lots of food!) and drink as we cooked. This was such a nice way to spend the afternoon and learn more about local culture and customs, and we’d highly recommend it. It felt like we were cooking with old friends. We can’t wait to try recreating the meal we made at home!

This is my 1st experience with Withlocals guide and I can tell you this is a game changer. Dionysia has been amazing from the time I booked with questions on logistics until the cooking was over, she promptly sent us links and recipes. The cooking part was so enjoyable and easy to follow. Dionysia is simply the best! She made us feel like a family and we felt so comfortable around her. I hope to follow Dionysia whenever she does her online cooking class. Best Souvlaki I have ever tasted!!!

My family had an awesome time with Dionysia making Gyros and other tasty treats at her home in Athens. It was a wonderful garden setting that made everyone feel comfortable. My daughter (8), wife and I all got involved in making Pita bread from scratch, Pork Gyros, Tzatsiki and more. It was such a fun and immersive experience. We felt like a part of Dionysia's family and really got a great appreciation for homemade greek cuisine. We can't wait to try out the recipes that we learned now that we are back home. I strongly recommend this. It is so much more of an experience than going out for a fancy restaurant meal!An incredible cooking experience with a great host!

We are a larger family with 3 kids of different ages and this worked out perfect for us. It is completely hands on - we cooked, drunk, talked and ate! Dionysia is so welcoming and accommodating to any food restrictions. Everything we made was amazing and I can’t wait to try it at home! Delicious afternoon cooking with family!

My husband, 14 year-old daughter and I spent our last night in Athens at cooking class with Dionysia. The experience exceeded expectations and was one of the highlights of our trip. Dionysia was an engaging and skillful teacher and hostess. From the moment we arrived at her lovely outdoor patio, we felt comfortable and welcome. She involved us in each step of the cooking process and made us confident in our ability to replicate the dishes at home. Her stories of procuring local produce and the history of different dishes enhanced the experience. And the food was DELICIOUS!! Definitely come hungry! We were amazed at the simplicity of the ingredients and the depth of flavor. One of the unexpected highlights of the class was the company. Due to a glitch in the booking there was another group scheduled for the same time. Dionysia quickly communicated this to us and gave both parties to option to meet jointly or reschedule. The schedule overlap ended up being fortuitous, and it was absolutely delightful to share the evening with a mother and daughter travelling together. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that we all highly recommend. Even our 14 year-old loved it--and she is hard to please! Best cooking class ever!

Dionysia was wonderful! My wife and I spent our last evening in Greece learning from and cooking with Dionysia. It was a great way to end our vacation! The instruction was helpful and interactive, the recipes were simple enough to replicate at home, and overall experience was enjoyable and genuine. The location is in a neighborhood that felt safe and was relatively easy to get to via car. Plan on about 4 hours with travel from Athens city center. We had good discussions about Greek culture and typical lifestyles with Dionysia, her husband, and son. The entire family hosted wonderfully! We would recommend the time spent for the experience! Friendly, fun experience with tasty food!

Dionysia was a superb host and educator. The food was amazing and her recipes are outstanding. She was kind enough to share her favorite spice store and gyro restaurant in Athens, which we frequented each twice. We even followed a couple of her recipes the first night we returned home to the States. Jet-lagged, worn out, but craving her food (it was excellent!). When we think of our favorite times in Athens, this was right there on top. Thank you so much, Dionysia!By far, our best experience in Athens

There is no better way to spend your first few hours in Greece than β€œCooking with your Cousin” (Dionysia!). Dionysia converted her backyard garden to be a welcoming oasis for visitors. All 6 of us arrived straight from the airport and we were immediately greeted with refreshments and such gracious hospitality. Dionysia did a fantastic job keeping everyone busy with multiple recipes and did it at a slow enough pace for everyone to feel a part of the process. We learned so much about the ingredients that go into authentic Greek cuisine (WOW!). It will definitely change the way we cook at home. I think we ate for 3 hour straight and every dish was truly delicious. We ended the tour enjoying a cup of Greek coffee and learning more about the Greek way of life. We never felt rushed and we did not leave hungry! THIS IS A TOUR YOU SHOULD NOT MISS. Dionysia is a wonderful chef with a very kind and generous heart. She felt like our cousin (we miss her already!) by the end of the tour. Thank you Dionysia for a first class introduction to Greek cooking. A MUST DO!! "Cook with your Cousin!!" Amazing food. Amazing Hospitality.

If we could give this class 100 stars, we would. Dionysia hosted us at her home on her outdoor balcony (very COVID friendly which made us comfortable), where we met her family, and spent the evening with her. She had already prepared absolutely delicious Greek appetizers (mezze) for us to eat when we arrived. We then learned to prepare pita bread from scratch (including flipping it in the pan, which I eventually succeeded at after some royal failures), gyros, traditional dips, and desserts. We chatted with Dionysia like we were old friends, sharing many stories as we were in such a comfortable setting! The food was delicious, and we are so grateful for Dionysia for sharing her home with us! Like Sitting Down with an Old Friend

First time with Dionysia was fun and lovely time with her family. I learned so much from her and even more with this class. She is very talent, kind, funny, and insightful. Never made pitas from scratch let alone souvlakis. She got me to flip a pita over in the pan when I was very unsure that I could do it. I was giddy like a little kid when I did. Thank you so much for the hospitality, the new views on cooking healthier, and all around kindness from yourself and your lovely family. I highly recommend her to anyone who comes out to Athens. πŸ₯°πŸ™πŸΎπŸ‡¬πŸ‡·2nd time with Dionysia and was wonderful!

We felt like we were right at home with friends or family. One of the best parts about Greece is the people and to have the pleasure of joining a local family in their home to cook a beautiful, authentic Greek meal was certainly a experience to remember and cherish forever. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for an intimate and authentic food experience.Wonderful exprience!!

We did the Greek Favorite Street Food: Authentic Gyro Cooking Class and we had a great time with Dionysia. She was very sweet and made us feel like family in her home. It was an extreme heat wave and she still honored our reservation. Make sure you go with an appetite. To start the night she had already prepared dips for us to eat so we know what it tastes like before we started making them ourselves. We made multiple dips, pita bread and finally the gyros. She provided locally made wine, beer and water. We had a great time with her and would definitely recommend this to all interested.Amazing experience

We took Dionysia's class on our last night in Athens and it ended up being our favorite part of our stay in that ancient city. Our group of 2 families, including 5 teens and 4 kids that are 10 years old or younger, had so much fun learning how to make authentic Greek food. The kids learned how to cut the pork "neck" (not really a neck, you'll have to take her class to get the backstory), make the pita bread, season the meat and prepare the tzatziki sauce. I loved the spicy feta dip, the pita bread was incredible and the Gyros were the best I had during our week in Greece. We are looking forward to making our own Gyros at home. This class was well worth it for the food alone, but the fun evening and learning how to make the food ourselves made this a "can't miss" experience in Athens. My advice for a trip to Athens, get your pictures of the Acropolis and then get yourself to this class. Thanks Dionysia!!!Oh My Goodness, this was AWESOME

She patiently taught us how to make the dough, sauces and prepare the meat. She also taught us how to make a delicious dessert. We ate the most delicious gyros we have ever eaten and can't wait to start making them at home as a family. Dionysia was so kind and fun to spend the evening with. We truly had a memorable time together as a family and are so glad we had this experience.

She not only helped two very new and confused tourists navigate her city, but was so patient with us as well. The entire evening was so fun and enjoyable. Her and her family were fantastic hosts and had us laughing and having fun the entire time! Not only is she an incredible cook, but also a fantastic teacher.

The host has made our experience in Athens memorable. When we arrived the apartment, drinks and snacks were prepared for us. After the light refreshments, we started in making Greek food, including the main course and dessert. We had plenty of time to chitchat and enjoyed the food afterwards. As we didn’t get the return bus ticket, the host even brought us to the nearest metro station before bringing us to the bus stop. Last but not least, we would like to learn the refugee issues during our trip and the host also referred us to one of her friends who is working in a NGO!!

My teen daughter and I enjoyed our cooking class with Dionysia. She welcomed us and we felt at ease immediately. We learned great tricks for making delicious Greek food. Half of the family couldn’t come to the class for last minute medical reasons and Dionysia took great care of packing half of the delicious food we cooked together for bringing back to the hotel. It has been highly appreciated by our relatives. We finally shared the prepared meal with her family, chatting and having a good time as if we were visiting our Greek cousin. Great experience! We leave back home with new cooking skills, planning to treat our friends with an homemade Greek diner and lovely memories of a friendly encounter. Thank you Dionysia!

Dionysia was AMAZING! One of the best experiences I've ever had in my travels. Dionysia cooks from the heart and it shows in the quality of her food. You should come hungry as there is LOTS of food to eat. I don't care where you have been before, these are the best gyros you will ever eat! Her place is extremely clean and she treats you like family. I could write a book on how good this experience was but rather than reading more reviews, just book this experience, it is as good as it gets.The best experience!

Our evening with Dionysia was the highlight of our four days in Athens. She welcomed us so warmly to her home and we sat on her terrace in the warm evening sun, feeling a real connection with "real Greece". My husband and I have two teenage girls and I have a disability meaning that I walk with a walking trolley. Dionysia had taken all this into account in a very affirming way. During our time at her home, we met her family and then learned about and created from scratch our very own, authentic Greek street food. I can honestly say that it was some of the most delicious food we have ever eaten and to know that I, my husband and children had made it ourselves was wonderful. Never will I ever want to by pitta bread from the supermarket again. After the evening, Dionysia sent us the recipes for all the food items along with instructions for making it, should we forget. Dionysia is a warm, kind and humorous lady who made our evening with her very special. Thank you Dionysia so much and wishing you and your lovely family all the very best for the future.
