At this cozy family-run spot, you may get the change to watch handmade phyllo pies crafted from scratch. Choose yours from cheese, chicken, spinach, and more!
At this charming deli-style grocery, we’ll taste a charcuterie board with Greek cheeses, cold cuts, olives, and fresh bread, paired with unlimited tsipouro (greek spirit) and a glass of wine. To finish, Greek yogurt with honey.
Visit this small, family-run spot known for some of the best handmade gyros and kebabs in the city. Fresh pita bread is baked daily. Enjoy a wrap with gyro (pork, chicken, or vegetarian) paired with a small Greek beer.
Stop at one of the few places in Athens that still makes traditional Greek donuts. Crispy on the outside, soft inside, topped with honey and cinnamon or chocolate. The lively, youthful atmosphere makes this sweet stop especially welcoming.

A fun time for all. We had a chance to walk through a few local neighborhoods and experience a true Athens lifestyle. The food stops were great and offered a chance to relax with old and new friends in the group without feeling rushed or pressured. We enjoyed the variety of drink and food offered and would recommend this tour to visitors looking for a time away from the tourist hotspots.
