About this tour
When Alex from our team booked Angelina's cooking class in Mykonos, we got a proper Greek kitchen education from someone who actually cares about the recipes. She's a food blogger and Gastronomic Club member who teaches you to work filo dough, make baklava that doesn't fall apart, and put together a proper meze spread — all while sipping ouzo in her Chora home. The 3-hour session lands you at a table with wine, Greek salad, a main, and dessert made from what you've just learned. Small groups (2–4 people) walk to her place; bigger parties get transport to her Lia home. Summer-only availability keeps it intimate but means you'll need to plan ahead.
Highlights
- Hands-on filo work: spanakopita, savoury feta parcels, baklava from scratch
- Angelina shares forgotten Myconian recipes using island-grown, seasonal produce
- Wine and ouzo flow while you cook; no awkward standing-around
- Full three-course meal you've made, eaten at her table with proper Greek hospitality
- Seasonal seafood focus tied to what's actually caught off Mykonos shores
- Small group feel in her home kitchen — not a cooking studio tour
- Optional market tour option to source ingredients with local eye
What to expect
Alex arrived mid-morning and was greeted by Angelina in her Chora home kitchen — compact, real, nothing stage-managed. We started with filo: folding, layering, understanding why technique matters. Then salad, a main dish, and a dessert build. Angelina talks you through the why of Cycladic cooking: island produce, what's seasonal, how Mykonian gastronomy differs from mainland Greece. It's not rushed; there's chat, tasting as you go, a glass in hand. The rhythm feels like a friend teaching you rather than a lesson checklist.
By the 3-hour mark, you're sitting down to eat what you've cooked. Meze, salad, the main, dessert — proper portions, proper wine. It's relaxed, not performative. The walk from the Sea Bus drop-off took about 8 minutes uphill through the old town, which was fine on a calm day but worth knowing if you're carrying bags or uncomfortable with uneven stone streets.

Good to know
If you love food and actually want to learn technique rather than tick a box, this lands right. Angelina's knowledge of local ingredients and forgotten recipes is genuine — you're eating history, not reinvented tourist food. Wine and ouzo included. The home setting means you're not in a studio with 20 strangers; it's intimate. Groups of 2–4 work especially well.
Summer only (May–October), so plan early — Angelina fills up fast. Groups of 2–4 must walk 5–10 minutes on foot-only paths to Chora; if stairs and uneven ground aren't your thing, flag it. Bigger groups (5+) get transport to her Lia home, which is fairer but fragmented availability. No kitchen in a hotel room, so you're committing to a three-hour block. Dress casually; you'll be handling food and filo flour. A market tour is optional (and worth it), but it'll add time and cost. Strollers and service animals welcome.
