Join Angelina for a private three-hour cooking class in her Mykonos home. Prepare Cycladic dishes such as shrimp saganaki, spanakopita, and baklava, then sit down to eat with wine and ouzo. Smaller groups meet in Chora, while groups of five or more travel to her sea-view home.

“Angelina and her family hosted six of us in her spectacular home overlooking the sea in Mykonos (a 25 minute drive from town). She also has a home in town for smaller groups. This was not only a cooking class but an introduction to the lifestyle and architecture of Mykonos. Angelina asked what we'd like to learn to cook in advance; every single dish was absolutely delicious and quite easy to prepare. Our hosts were warm, interesting, lots of fun. We've been raving us about our wonderful day ever since and HIGHLY recommend Angelina's cooking classes to anyone who wants an exceptional and very memorable day in Mykonos.”
