Description

Your culinary journey of Athens will take you to carefully selected specialty food shops, where you’ll taste some of the finest foods in Athens. On this 3.5-hour tour your expert food guide will take you for that essential eye-opener, Greek coffee, at one of the landmark coffee houses of the city. Then you'll duck into a carefully selected specialty food store that prides itself on its wide selection of Greek products. Here, you’ll be able to taste different olive oils, cheese, spreads and other surprises. This is your chance to be food-adventurous – among the upcoming stops is a baklava bakery with a long history and some of the best syropy sweets in Greece. Then, it’s time for authentic souvlaki at a delicious grill spot before heading into the traditional “belly of the city”, the bustling Varvakios Market, the biggest and most popular fish, meat and vegetable market in the whole of Athens. As you continue your walk, we’ll take the city’s Spice Street and drop in at a shop with an incredible variety of local condiments and herbs such as Greek oregano and Krokos Kozanis, otherwise known as Greek Red Saffron. We’ll also stop by a local pastry shop for a serious sugar rush as we tuck into a bougatsa (a traditional cream-filled phyllo treat) or loukoumades, the Greek version of donuts. The last stop on the tour is for a selection of scrumptious Greek meze (like tapas, only better) at a traditional tavern. When they finally clear the plates away here, our mission will be accomplished – you’ll leave with a full and happy stomach and a much better understanding of the world of Greek food.
