Sample tyropita, the famous Greek cheese-filled snack pie, and loukoumades, deep-fried dough balls covered in honey. Considered one of the oldest-recorded desserts, loukoumades trace back to the year 776 BC when they were served to winners as "honey tokens" in the first Olympic Games. Finally, you'll hit the central food market- the place to be. This place plays a major role in Athens' gastronomical scene.
