Stin Avli presents…
A celebration of Greek flavours, tradition, and seasonal cooking.
Our 2.5-hour cooking classes are designed for those who wish to go beyond the restaurant table. Guided by tradition, you will learn the secrets of the Greek kitchen—from the rhythmic stretching of dough to the perfect balance of Mediterranean herbs.
Menu Highlights:
The Art of Filo: Master the technique of hand-stretched filo pastry, crafted into a magnificent traditional spinach, herb, and fetta pie.
Island Meze: Create crispy zucchini fritters paired with house-made tzatziki and a classic, vibrant Greek salad.
A Sweet Finish: Prepare saragli—a traditional rolled baklava—to complete your culinary journey.
