Enjoying Greek food is about the smells, the tastes, and the flavors. In a central neighborhood, frequented by locals for its markets and restaurants, discover the diversity and the deliciousness of Greek food in a matter of hours.
The Most Delicious Food Tour of Athens
Get ready to bite into a sweet, cream-filled, crunchy filo layered pie called bougatsa, fork into perfectly fried
doughnut balls drenched in honey called loukoumades, and savor a satisfying
meld of flavors from warm pita bread filled with seasoned grilled meat, fresh
veggies, and a traditional sauce, called gyros. In between, you’ll taste Feta
cheese, Greek olives, and sip Greek wines. This neighborhood walk revolves
around sampling Greece’s traditional food.
Vegetarian-Friendly

please contact us or call us before purchasing tickets.
Athens Central Market and More
Our Athens Walking Tours guide will lead
you through the bustling Athens Central Market, a historic food market unlike
any other in Europe. Here, colorful and fragrant food stalls set the stage
among animated food sellers, fishmongers and butchers whelping for sales as locals
bargain them down.
Experience the Tastes of Greece
You’ll also walk the city’s quaint spice
street, browse through mom-and-pop specialty shops selling local wine, olive
oil, cheese or olives, and sample what’s behind the glass counters at
family-run delicatessens. The aromas of fresh, out-of-the-oven savory pies, the
tempting displays of Greek pastries and sips of Greece’s strong and tasteful
spirits round out the food tour.
Discover Athenian Food Culture
In between each bite, you’ll gain insight
into Greece’s fascinating food culture, the evolution of the country’s cuisine
and the healthy nature of locally produced, organic ingredients.
