Explore the rich and traditional cuisine of Athens in the city’s hidden, non-tourist areas! In locations you might not discover on your own, we find genuine, freshly made, local food. We delve into the vibrant streets, tasting and buying cheese, cured meats, fruits, Greek sweets and spices from bustling markets alive with colour, fragrance and sound. Join us as we taste honey, oil and olives straight from a farmer, and try wine crafted onsite at a local taverna. Relish two meals comprising meat and seafood at a local’s meze bar and at a market restaurant, accompanied by traditional Greek coffee and a dessert.
For tours beginning after 4pm or on Sundays when the markets are closed, we dine at two local taverns sampling authentic food complemented by ouzo, raki and local homemade wine. We visit a spice store, explore the Greek nightlife scene, and savour a sweet pastry.
Numerous taste tests including two full meals on all tours while you immerse yourself in Greek culture.
