Food Tour in Athens
Description
Get a real taste of Athens strolling around the central neighborhoods which are scattered with ruins and monuments. Athens is also a very walkable and modern city but when leaving the main roads and walkways you may find yourself in a maze of side streets. There are plenty of reasons to travel to Athens but the best, and perhaps most important, is to try the incredible food. Food in Greece is so much a part of our culture. It literally is a culture of its own. And I am going to show you how locals eat, by way of my favorite eateries. We will visit the Greek Gastronomy Museum, have traditional Greek coffee (made the old fashion way) and try an ancient sweet dating back to the original Olympic games just to name a few major stops on this scrumptious tour. Your taste buds will be jumping for joy. So please eat lightly before hand so you can take it all in.

Wonderful time spent with tour guide Angela walking through the streets of central Athens while tasting various Greek foods and going to a traditional Greek coffee house. Also visited the fish, meat, and produce markets.Stopped to rest in the court yard of an 11th Century Byzantine church 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure sharing authentic Greek food, local markets, traditional Greek coffee, and hidden corners of Athens with you. So happy you enjoyed the Byzantine church courtyard and the real local experience in central Athens. Hope to see you again for more Athens food tours and Greek culture experiences!

Great tour with a very knowledgeable guide. She took us to places we wouldn't have dreamed of going to. She wasn't just knowledgeable about the food,but Athens in general. Nothing was too much trouble.

The guide Elias was absolutely fantastic! He had the ability to see everyone in the group and a star at learning everyone's names. The tour was personal and the guide took us to places that for him are personal. The food and drink was good and showed some examples of Greek gastronomy. Recommend the tour with joy and praise!
