Wonderful dinner and authentic experience
Stephen_A
, Aug 2021
Fotimi was a wonderful host and we had a lovely dinner and conversation with her. Her friend Christo actually did most of the cooking as she was dealing with a recent health issue. He prepared dishes from his native home of Corfu and other islands. Chicken pastitsada, aliada, beetroot salad, french fries, anise paximadia. All very authentic. Fotimi and my wife were kindred spirits and really hit it off.

Had a great time
Jim_S
, Dec 2019
We had a great time cooking with Fotini. Some of the stuff was pre-made (dessert), but most of it was made from scratch with fresh meat and vegetables. My spouse and I are decent cooks to begin with, so we were pretty adept, but the class would have been good for beginners as well. Afterwards, she sent us a cookbook (pdf file) by e-mail that included the dishes we made, plus many others. The class was in her apartment. We cooked in the kitchen and ate in the dining room. It is not a big space, so only groups of 1-3 people should plan for this activity.
We highly recommend this cooking class.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
