Overview

Step into the heart of Leros through the flavors of traditional Greek cooking. In a charming old house surrounded by trees and nature, you’ll join local hosts for a hands-on Moussaka workshop, preparing one of Greece’s most beloved dishes from scratch.

From slicing eggplants and layering potatoes to preparing the rich minced meat sauce and creamy béchamel, every step is guided with care, stories, and local warmth. Your Moussaka is then baked in a traditional wood-fired oven, adding the deep, authentic flavor of Greek home cooking.

When the meal is ready, gather around the big tree for a relaxed shared dinner with your homemade Moussaka, fresh Greek salad, tzatziki, local sides, dessert, and wine from Leros. More than a cooking class, this is an evening of food, laughter, stories, and island hospitality.

What to expect

If you’re looking for a special experience on Leros – something real, hands-on, and full of flavor – join us for one of our summer cooking workshops. This one’s all about moussaka, the legendary Greek dish that’s close to every Greek heart.

We’ll welcome you into a beautiful old Greek house hidden in the forest, just outside Lakki. It’s a home with soul – the kind of place where recipes are passed down, not written down. And we’ll be cooking the traditional way: in a wood-fired oven that brings out those deep, unforgettable flavors.

We cook together. We eat together.
From slicing eggplants to building the perfect béchamel, we’ll walk you through every step of the process – and you’ll make your very own moussaka in a personal dish, just for you.

When the fire has done its magic, we’ll sit down together under the old big tree and share a proper Greek feast: fresh salad, creamy tzatziki, your homemade moussaka, and a Lot of chilled local wine. Add a few good stories and a few new friends, and you’ve got yourself a Greek night to remember.

What’s included:
Full meal (Greek salad, tzatziki, and your own moussaka)
Wine, water, and good company
