Description

Enjoy the most delicious, authentic Greek flavors in a three-hour walking tour that will open your appetite for even more! Experience the essence of Athens through its culinary habits. Visit non-touristic areas and taste local traditional products, a delicious way to discover Athens.

The meeting point is opposite Syntagma metro station. Start the day by sipping a Greek coffee in a traditional Greek coffee shop accompanied by fried doughnut balls with honey called “loukoumades”. Get a bite of a filled, crunchy filo layered pie called tyropita in one of the oldest pie baking shops in the center of Athens. Taste koulouri, a specialty pretzel dipped in sesame seeds, from a street stand like most Athenians do every morning.

Sample unique local delicacies like olives and extra virgin olive oil. Walk around the streets of the central market of Athens, smell the spices, taste the fresh fruits and a variety of nuts and enter ”Varvakios agora”, the main meat and fish market. Lastly, finish the tour by tasting the most famous and delicious Greek street food, the glorious “Souvlaki”.
