A Culinary and Cultural Exploration: Central Athens Day Tour

Welcome to the Central Athens Day Tour, a journey that combines tradition, craftsmanship, and history. Our first stop is Trikalinos, a family-owned company preserving the tradition of processing female grey mullet roe since 1856. Join us on a fascinating journey just 5 km from Athens Center, where you’ll witness the meticulous techniques of fishing grey mullets, extracting roe, and producing the renowned Trikalinos Bottarga.

As you explore our facilities, a 15-minute video presentation will immerse you in the centuries-old process. Following that, indulge in a basic tasting experience featuring a variety of Trikalinos products, including marinated anchovies, marinated sardines, and, of course, the exquisite roe. The tour concludes with a visit to our retail store, where you can take home the flavors that captivated your palate.

Next on our adventure is Noctua Brewery, a haven for beer enthusiasts located just 2 km from Omonia Square. Embrace the global craft-beer revolution with Noctua’s mission to produce flavorful craft beers that stand out from the ordinary. Have you ever wondered about the beer-making process? Do you want to explore the only micro-brewery in town? Noctua Brewery invites you to discover the answers as you tour their premises and savor three of their distinctive beers.

Finally, immerse yourself in history at the Archaeological Museum of Kerameikos. Nestled within the archaeological site, this museum showcases funerary exhibits from excavations conducted by the German Archaeological Institute. Walk through the simple yet captivating single-story building with an exterior colonnade, housing sculptural works spanning all periods of antiquity and ceramics from the Kerameikos necropolis.

As you explore the museum, let the covered atrium transport you to a small interior garden adorned with olive and laurel trees.
