Athens: Traditional Greek Orange Pie Workshop in Psiri

Live an authentic Greek gastronomic experience in the heart of Athens. Learn to make traditional Greek orange pie in a family sweet shop with a history that began in 1997. Your experience starts at Τα Σερμπέτια στου Ψυρρή, in the picturesque and lively Psiri neighborhood, where you will be welcomed by Maria Katsikari, owner of the family business and pastry chef.

In an authentic Greek setting, you will discover the basic ingredients and learn more about the tradition of Greek sweets. Then you will move into the workshop kitchen and, under Maria's guidance, create your own orange pie. You will prepare the ingredients, work the phyllo, and learn step by step the secrets of the recipe, from preparation to baking. Along the way you will pick up professional tips and techniques you can use at home.

While the orange pie bakes, the experience continues in the sweet shop. Enjoy a sweet and a coffee or beverage as you relax and chat with our team. It is the perfect moment to get to know one another, take photos, and share stories and useful tips about Greek pastry. You will also learn more about the history of Τα Σερμπέτια στου Ψυρρή, the neighborhood, and Athens — feel free to ask for recommendations on places to visit, Greek flavors to try, and experiences worth discovering during your stay.

When the pie is ready, you will return to the kitchen for the final stage. You will syrup it and learn how the characteristic balance is achieved between aromatic orange, syrup, and crisp phyllo. At the end, you will taste your own creation. Before leaving, you will receive a certificate of attendance and a piece of orange pie, so you can take a sweet memory of your Athens experience with you. You will not simply attend a lesson — you will create your own Greek sweet, meet a family business with a history since 1997, and discover Athens through its flavors, stories, and everyday life.
