Local, entertaining, and full of good energy - This was probably the best decision we've made while in Athens. The hosts were spectacular, the food was soooo tasty, and we learned a lot about Greek culture in a relatively short time. Around Greece in Five Dishes is not your typical food tour—it is local, heartwarming, and gives you the experience of visiting families around Greece, rather than just settling for the most famous dishes. It's not trying to amaze you with extravagance but is instead beautiful in its simplicity. Even my husband, who's normally the exact opposite of a foodie and doesn't really eat most things, wiped his plate clean after every single dish. If there's one experience in Athens worth spending money on, it's this one :)

If I had to choose one thing to do in Athens, I choose this - Best activity in Athens. Me and my wife came to the city for our honeymoon, checked out jewelry museum and Acropolis and all the stuff. But this place was easily the best. The acting blew our mind away. The food is juuuust right. And we really learned something. Many things. We really connected with the staff on an emotional level and And Seriously I'm not even a food fan. But this made me want to become one. Such great dishes. If I could recommend just one activity in Athens to anyone, I would recommend this. Enjoy!!
