The central square of Athens is dominated by the Greek Parliament (formerly the Royal Palace) and characterized by the high energy level created by the constant movement of people through the city’s busiest crossroads.
Souvenir shops, ancient monuments and the oldest area of the city attract the greatest concentration of tourists in Athens to this picturesque cluster of narrow alleys just below the towering stone sides of the Acropolis...
Hadrian’s library, great street food and an underground river hidden in a metro station await those who come to this antique and flea market area in search of a bargain or a look of one the city’s few surviving Ottoman mosques.
Long a neighbourhood where local craftsmen worked out of small shops, Psirri is now one of the city’s hottest new spots for evening food and drink. It’s also one of the best places to check out the city’s latest street art.
Athens' food market, bustling with locals seeking fresh produce, meats, and fish. Despite its lively atmosphere, it remains a true reflection of daily life, offering a genuine experience of the city's culinary culture.

Great way to get to learn the Greek cuisine. Elena was especially lovely!
Fantastic tour! Andreas was knowledgeable and fun, and the food was incredible and oh-so plentiful. We were happily stuffed and came away with so much interesting information about Greek culture, language, and, of course, food! Highly recommend. We have taken many food, cultural, and historical tours around the world, and this one was one of the best.
Mariza did a great job and took my husband and I to the best hot spots. There was a mix of different foods, including desserts and everything was delicious. We definitely recommend this tour!

This tour was so wonderful with Pavlina as our guide. We tasted so much delicious food and learned a lot about the area and the history of the food. We also walked through a few different districts. We booked this tour while in port on a cruise, it was easy to get a taxi to and from port and enjoy this unique experience!
Very interesting tour through the authentic restaurants of Athens with valuable background information ℹ️ n the history of greek dishes.
The guided food and walking tour was our favourite things that we did in Athens! It was an awesome way to see various districts in the city and get to taste some of the local cuisine. Be sure to go with an empty stomach, as there was so much food to enjoy. Our guide Maria Katarina was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and easy to chat with over the four hour tour. Definitely a must do!
We had a great experience with Andreas as our tour guide. The variety and quantity of food was amazing. As always, I learned a lot about the history of the city and got to try some new foods I wouldn’t have otherwise tried. We were able to walk through so many cool areas of several different neighborhoods in Athens. I would highly recommend this tour. It was awesome!
Elena was an excellent guide and hostess. (This was my first food tour.)She was extremely knowledgeable about the food and Greek history. She showed us several unique buildings and was so kind. Would highly recommend this tour. Each dish and drink was brought to light by Elena. You can tell how much she loves Greece and the food.
We had an amazing time on this food tour. The food was excellent and Andreas our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about Athens history and food. Best food tour we have ever done
