Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Kotzia Square, 63A Athinas St, Athens Greece
You’ll meet your local guide and begin this Athens tour by exploring Kotzia Square, located in the heart of Athens. The square is surrounded by gorgeous neoclassical buildings, which were constructed in the early 18th century, and also some ancient ruins of old houses that you will have a peek at on your way to the market.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Central Market, Athinas 42, Athens 999-20 Greece
Your local guide will show you around the best of the Central Market, taking you to places few tourists venture and helping you discover a variety of delicious Greek specialties. From the simple koulouri (a round-shaped bread with sesame seeds) and delicate local pastries, to the Greek staples of feta and olives, the Central Market is a feast for the senses.
Duration: 50 minutes
Stop At: Agia Irini Church, 36 Aiolou Street, Athens Greece
We also try either an invigorating Greek coffee (in the winter) or a cold frappe in warmer days, which are popular local beverages. Athens food is a rich mix of old and new, traditional and modern, and this tour is the perfect way to discover all these aspects.
Duration: 40 minutes
Stop At: Athens Street, Athens Greece
Next on this culinary tour of Athens, we drop by a Greek deli that sells traditional produce and is a popular shopping place for locals. Here you can chat to the shop owner and ask him about all of his produce — and taste some of course! This spot sells the best seasonal food available, perfect for a picnic in the city if you’d like to return another time during your stay in Athens.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Monastiraki Square, Agias Eleousis 3, Athina 105 55, Greece
Finally on this Athens tour, you’ll make your way to Monastiraki Square where your adventure will end. Your guide will be happy to recommend other places to see in this ancient city and where some of the best local restaurants are located, if you can stomach even more Greek deliciousness!

Nickolita meet us at a plaza in Athens and took us to many food establishments around the area. We were served excellent food to eat and they gave us large amonts of food to taste. The portions were so large we always had food left over. Nickolita spoke perfect english and has a great personality. She was the perfect tour guide. It was a great experience.
Some of the best food we had in Athens! Do not eat ANYTHING before you go! We had leftover food at each stop. Our tour guide Charlotte was super nice! Interesting tidbits about ancient Athens, and no non stop deluge of information. It was like strolling through the city with a friend! This is the real deal!
This is one of the best tours we have ever done guide was excellent and the food and drinks where great and go Hungary as the food is plentiful
perfect for lunch and a first day experience
This was a really fantastic experience. We started with traditional Greek coffee, toured several small shops, the large market, and stopped at three different places to sample local food. Nikoleta was a wonderful host and listened to our interests and adapted the tour accordingly. It was definitely the highlight of our trip!
A total must do while in Athens!!!! Nikoleta was very friendly and knowledgeable, not only on the food we were tasting but also on the history of each place and the neighborhood we were walking through. A wonderful way to see part of Athens as a true Greek!
