About this activity

Meet your local guide at 10am in in the center of Athens for a 3,5-hour small group walking tour of the tastiest side of the city. Savor the flavors of Athens and experience a delicious slice of modern Greek culture through cuisine. Journey through the side streets of the city to carefully selected specialty food shops and taste the finest olive oil, fresh Greek cheeses, thick honey, and a salty cured meat.

Stroll through neighborhoods in the heart of Athens and visit traditional pastry shops. Immersed in the colors and smells of local spices, try dark and aromatic Greek coffee and sample renowned Greek dishes. Follow the irresistible scent of freshly-baked bread to one of the oldest bakeries in the city.

Weave through the bustling alleys of Varvakios Market, the cacophonous fish, meat, and vegetable market, where locals purchase the freshest ingredients. At the conclusion of the tour, stop at a local place for a taste of authentic Greek souvlaki.

We always do a food tour when we go overseas. We traveled through the different neighborhoods learning about the local foods and history of the areas. Good food, great lessons, and walking to work off the what you are eating. FUN!

What great morning. Vassha our guide was so friendly and took an interest in everyone in the group. There was a mix of people on the group varying in age and from many different locations but we all got on great. Everything we tasted was lovely and and although it seemed we walked quite a bit we had gone very little distance but winding in and out of the streets gave the impression of a much larger area. Would thoroughly recommend.

We had a great time on this tour. Andreas is an excellent guide - very knowledgeable about Greek food in general. We went to small places specializing in locally produced items and he had the back stories on them all. Along the way we got a lot of recent history of Greece as well. By the end, we had enough food to last the rest of the day! The tour actually lasted almost four hours - time well spent. I'd recommend this tour and especially Andreas.

Easy going 4 hour cooking and eating session for my wife and I with the cook. Prepared lamb kleftico which took a while to bake, so we proceeded to make several different appetizers and deserts. Fun and enjoyable day.
