The Meal: What You Might Expect on Your Plate

The actual dishes depend on your preferences, but you can generally expect a spread of Greek signature dishes. These could include classic favorites like fresh grilled seafood, souvlaki, tzatziki, or moussaka, all made with genuine ingredients.

Practicalities and Considerations

The experience lasts about 3 hours, giving you ample time to enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. You’ll be meeting the chef at your holiday rental, so no need for additional transportation or travel logistics.
