- Athens Tiare Hotel - Embark on a delightful three-hour journey into Greek cuisine! This walking tour offers a chance to explore the everyday culinary delights cherished by Greeks. Enjoy feta cheese, savory pies, sweet bougatsa, pita with gyros, skewers or soutzouki, and perhaps some fresh fruits or olives when the central market is open. Experience Greek coffee, wine, or beer while engaging in lively sports discussions like a true local! The tour begins at Athens’ most multicultural spot, Omonoia Square, and proceeds towards the city’s commercial hub. As we navigate the bustling streets, we’ll arrive at the Central Food Market to sample some favorite Greek nuts and a spirit known as tsipouro, followed by a visit to the meat and fish market (closed on Sundays, but this won’t impact the tour). A must-try in Greece is meze (similar to tapas), which will be our next stop. We’ll wander through the charming narrow streets of Psirri, a popular area for outings, to enjoy a Greek coffee and delve into Greek coffee culture. Continuing through Psirri, we’ll reach another lively area to savor the delightful honeyballs!

A Culinary Adventure Through History!!!!! - If you want to experience Athens beyond the ruins, this food tour is a must. Led by our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Voula, the tour took us through local markets, hidden bakeries, and traditional meze places we’d never have found on our own.
We started with a strong Greek coffee and koulouri, then sampled spanakopita, loukoumades, local cheeses, olives, and even had an olive oil tasting. Every stop came with fascinating stories about Greek culture and culinary traditions, making the experience both delicious and educational.

A great food tour in Athens! - I really enjoyed my walk in downtown Athens, and I tasted everything from souvlaki and feta to pistachios from Aegina (fystiki aiginis). Voula took me to several little shops selling Greek specialties.

Amazing experience tasting and learning Greek cuisine and culture…. - WOW!!!! What an amazing night and experience on our food tour with Voula. My wife, 2 daughters (21 and 14), and I did this evening tour with Voula and have nothing but rave reviews. It was everything we hoped for and more. It is a perfect balance of learning about Greek culture thru the streets of Athens while eating amazing food at places you would never find on your own. Voula mixes it up with appetizers, main courses, deserts, and some vino at a lot of different stops. And Voula is AMAZING…..so pleasant, knowledgeable, funny….felt like she was part of the family. We all highly recommend going on this tour with Voula. Bravo!!

Highly recommended food tour in Athens !!! - Amazing food tour with our guide Voula who was delightful, super friendly and very knowledgeable about Greek culture and food . She took us to some places (local market, small shops and restaurants hidden in the city of Athens ) we wouldn't have thought of going ourselves -despite our extensive research. Best tour to become acclimated to what Greek food lifestyle is like. I didn't want the tour to end ,Voula you are AWESOME !!!

Perfect taste of Athens - Voula was a great!. She showed us around the city and we learnt a lot about the culture and cuisine. The food tastings were great, we tasted foods in lovely spots that we wouldn’t have if we were on our own. One gets a good idea of the traditions and culture through this tasting tour. It is a great way to start one’s trip in Athens learning about the best places to eat and visit. Thank you Voula!
