The Experience
Embark on a Culinary Journey to Santorini with Margarita in Athens
Step away from the ordinary and immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors of Santorini with Margarita’s Santorini Dinner in the Heart of Athens. This 3-hour culinary experience transports you to the famous Greek island without leaving the city, offering a taste of its iconic dishes in the luxurious setting of Margarita’s beautifully decorated home in Syntagma, the very center of Athens.
Upon entering Margarita’s elegant apartment, you’ll feel instantly welcomed by the warm and inviting atmosphere that she has carefully curated. Margarita, a local Athenian with a deep love for authentic Greek cuisine, will guide you through the secrets of preparing traditional dishes from Santorini, a place renowned for its unique culinary heritage. This hands-on experience is not only a chance to learn new cooking skills but also an opportunity to engage with Greek culture in a meaningful way, surrounded by both locals and visitors who share a passion for good food.
The evening begins with a series of delectable appetizers that showcase the rich flavors of Santorini. You’ll start with Chlorotiri, a local cheese made from goat’s or sheep’s milk, known for its strong, distinctive flavor. Next, savor the Smoked Eggplant Dip, a dish that highlights the natural sweetness of Santorini’s white eggplants, followed by Apochti, a unique Greek alternative to Carpaccio made from pork meat, roasted with salt, vinegar, and spices. The appetizers are rounded out with Traditional Santorini Fava, a smooth purée made from yellow split peas, and Tomato Meatballs, a signature dish of the island combining local tomatoes, basil, and mint.
The experience continues with a fresh Greek Salad with Feta Cheese, featuring cucumbers, onions, olive oil, oregano, and a special variety of Santorinian tomatoes that grow exclusively on the island. For the main course, you’ll enjoy Santorini Garlic Pasta, a flavorful dish that marries the freshness of Santorini tomatoes with olive oil, garlic, and salt—classic staples of Greek cuisine.
No Santorini meal would be complete without dessert. You’ll have the chance to taste Melitinia, sweet treats made with salted mizithra cheese, yogurt, and mastic, traditionally offered at celebrations, and Cufeto Spoon Sweet, a honey and almond custard that is one of Santorini’s most iconic desserts. These dishes are paired with a selection of local wines from Santorini, including white and red varieties like Assyrtiko, Athiri, Aidani, Mandilaria, and Mavrotragano, all favored by the island’s unique volcanic soils.
Margarita’s Santorini Dinner is more than just a meal; it’s a celebration of Greek culture and hospitality, offering you the chance to create lasting memories in the heart of Athens.
