Traditional breakfast in markets with olive oil and honey tasting
Description
Athens is a city full of magical contrast and strong culture and we would love to introduce you to this whilst we offer you traditional Greek breakfast foods. We will start our journey right in the centre of non touristic Athens in the fascinating, alternative area of Athinas Street where you will be surrounded by the sounds, sights and smells of the local food markets. These include meat, fish, spices and fruits and vegetables. Whilst you enjoy Greek yoghurt, Greek coffee, Koulouri, Spanakopita and more we will introduce you to the markets and the local traders who work there. You will learn about the culture of Greek coffee and visit the oldest coffee shop in Athens where they still make it the traditional way - do you know how that is? We will also show you the best places to shop for spices, olives and other Greek delicacies at local prices. Book our early tour and leave the rest of the day free to explore Athens and visit the tavernas we recommend to you during the tour!

Great way to start our visit to Athens. Excellent selection of places and meals. Mike answered our questions about the local culture and was an excellent guide. It was worth every euro.
Thank you so much for your kind review.
Loved this experience! I would definitely recommend!♥️ I learned about and ate the wonderful food of Athens! Best experience of the 3 days spent in Athens!
Thank you Janet. It was great to meet you.
We were taken on this brilliant walk around the markets, food stalls, coffee shops etc and told about the food, culture etc and in the meantime got to taste the best food in the area. We ended in a local place were we would otherwise have never gone with amazing small dishes and the best yoghurt. We were shown where to get pita, olives, fresh feta. The young women showing us around had so much enthusiasm for her work and the food, we really loved it and would highly recommend touring with this organisation
Thank you very much. We are very happy to know you enjoyed your time with Arela so much.
Rachel was our guide for this breakfast tour. Do this tour to explore the markets and enjoy various foods. Come hungry!!!
Thank you Rosalyn. It was lovely to meet you.
Arela was a fantastic host and you get so much value for this tour. If you’ve done the longer traditional food tour with Rachel and Michael I would still recommend this tour as you make different stops and Arela has her own personal style that is also very engaging!
Thank you so much. It was a true pleasure to host you on two tours and to know we will meet again one day in the future!
My partner and I loved the food tour! We were able to try out a lot of the delicacies as well as learn about the history of the food and of Greece! Watching the Greek coffee being made in the traditional way was one of my highlights :) Rachel and Arela were fantastic guides and we’d highly recommend to book if you’re in the Athens area!
Thank you very much for your lovely review. It was so lovely to meet you both and spend time with you. Have a wonderful time in Greece with all those special moments! Rachel and Arela
