Set in the picturesque region of Mesogeia, near the stunning Cape Sounion, this 3-hour session is more than just a cooking class—it’s an immersion into the rich culinary heritage of Greece, all while surrounded by the natural beauty of a home nestled among lemon trees, vineyards, and olive groves.

The menu is a carefully curated selection of traditional Greek seafood dishes, beginning with a range of appetizers that showcase the simplicity and depth of Greek cuisine. You’ll start with Greek-Style Country Bread, baked in the traditional way, and Bread Rusks (Paximadia) served with homegrown olives and olive oil. Another highlight is the Grilled Bread with Herring Salad, an iconic meze topped with Aegina pistachios and paired with a glass of Ouzo or Tsipouro. The experience continues with Shrimp Saganaki, a classic Greek delicacy that combines the bold flavors of feta cheese, fresh tomatoes, and sweet peppers, perfectly matched with a glass of white Savatiano wine from the Attica vineyard.
For the salad course, you’ll enjoy a refreshing Wheat Berry Salad, where local vegetables like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and capers are dressed in a honey-based vinaigrette. The main course features a choice of Sea Bream or Sea Bass Fricassee, a delicious dish cooked with potatoes, zucchinis, bell peppers, and a creamy sauce made from wine, lemon, and mustard, accompanied by a glass of white Malagouzia wine from the Attica vineyard.
The dinner concludes with a choice of dessert, either Semolina Halva with Strained Yoghurt and Grape Molasses, spiced with cinnamon, walnuts, and dried fruits, or Kaimaki Ice Cream with Spoon Sweet and Almond Fillet, known for its elastic texture and mastic aroma. As you savor each bite, you’ll find that this experience is about more than just food—it’s an opportunity to connect with Sofia, share stories, and enjoy the beauty of Greek hospitality.
