    Different locations to test the food and drinks. Love the variety. Really enjoyed the family style lunch with the group to be able to test all the local cuisine or favorites. Enjoyed the experience of traditional Greek coffee. Guide was knowledgeable taking us around the area and explaining the foods and drinks and what made them unique. Highly recommend!
  • Step into the heart of Athens for a flavor-packed food adventure beyond the tourist trail. Over four delicious hours, explore lively streets, uncover hidden gems, and indulge in the city’s best flavors with a local guide.

    Start at a central meeting point before setting off on foot through Athens’ vibrant food scene. From historic bakeries crafting golden spanakopita to family-run delis brimming with cured meats, cheeses, and fragrant olives, each stop is a deep dive into Greek gastronomy. Enjoy freshly baked koulouri (sesame bread rings), sweet honey-drenched loukoumades, and bold Greek coffee along the way.

    One of the tour’s highlights is a visit to the Athens Central Market, where the air is thick with the aroma of fresh herbs, sizzling street food, and ripe seasonal produce. Watch local vendors expertly carve meats, sample artisan cheeses straight from the source, and soak in the energy of this bustling food hub.

    Your expert guide will share insights into how Greek cuisine has evolved, the importance of fresh ingredients, and why food plays such a central role in Greek culture. Upgrade to a private tour for a more personalized touch, or choose extended tastings to dive even deeper into Greek flavors.
