For many people, the soul of Athens is olive oil. Learn all about it in a guided culinary adventure that celebrates Greece’s timeless olive oil culture.

Begin your journey at the vibrant central market of Renti, where the scent of fresh herbs and the bright colours of seasonal produce set the scene. Guided by a local culinary olive expert, explore the bustling market stalls and pick out the best local ingredients.

The experience continues with a tasting of two exceptional extra virgin olive oils and three types of artisanal table olives, each paired with regional delicacies. As you explore the depths of Greek olive oil, you will discover the stories, flavours, and craftsmanship behind each drop.

Then roll up your sleeves for a hands-on cooking session inspired by the humble roots of Greek cuisine. You’ll bake rustic olive bread, prepare three traditional starters, make a fresh Greek salad, and delve into the rich history behind each recipe.

Toast your culinary journey with a glass of local wine and finish with a scoop of fresh ice cream from the neighbouring dairy.
