The Market-to-Table Experience

3 hours

Shop, Prep & Feast like a Local
Become part of the island’s pulse in this immersive culinary journey. We start at the bustling port, visiting the iconic floating markets (traditional boats) to pick seasonal vegetables, followed by a visit to the local fish market to learn about the catch of the day.

Then, we head to a charming partnered local tavern. In its traditional courtyard, we set up our 'prep station.' Under our guidance, you will learn to assemble an authentic Greek salad with a twist, create a signature Aegina pistachio dressing, and prepare traditional appetizers using the ingredients we just bought. The experience culminates in a long, relaxed lunch where you enjoy your creations paired with chilled local wine, experiencing the true meaning of 'Philoxenia'."

Interactive Preparation: Learn to make 3-4 traditional Greek appetizers in a professional tavern setting.
