Description
Experience the diverse blend of old and new, traditional and modern flavors with our Athens Food Tour.
We’ll kick off our culinary journey at Kotzia Square, a picturesque spot nestled in the heart of Athens, surrounded by stunning neoclassical buildings from the 19th century and remnants of ancient ruins. Here, we’ll indulge in a quintessential Greek morning ritual with either a Greek coffee or a refreshing frappe before delving into the culinary delights of the city.
Our first stop will be the Athens Central Market, an iconic institution with over a century of history. As we meander through its bustling aisles, you’ll have the chance to engage with local vendors and feast your eyes on an array of fresh produce. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere as we introduce you to a plethora of Greek specialties, from koulouri, a sesame-seed coated bread, to tangy feta, plump olives, exquisite olive oil, golden honey, and an assortment of cheeses.
Continuing our journey, we’ll explore charming family-owned businesses dotted around the historical center and ancient Agora, where luminaries like Pericles, Aristotle, and Plato once roamed. Here, we’ll indulge in a delightful “meze” platter, a selection of local tapas showcasing an assortment of cheeses, savory pies, Greek pastries, and traditional dips, sourced from a beloved local deli.
To elevate our experience, we’ll ascend to a rooftop bar boasting panoramic views of Athens’ iconic landmark, the Acropolis. Here, we’ll savor traditional spirits and local wines, toasting to the rich tapestry of Greek gastronomy.
As our culinary adventure draws to a close, we’ll satisfy our sweet tooth with a taste of Loukoumades, one of Greece’s oldest and most beloved sweets. Indulge in these delectable honey-drenched pastries, a fitting finale to our exploration of Athens’ culinary landscape.
Our journey concludes at Monastiraki Square, where you’re free to continue your exploration of this captivating city. Alternatively, we’re happy to provide directions back to your hotel, along with insider tips to further enhance your Athenian experience. Bid farewell to newfound flavors and fond memories, armed with the knowledge to savor the best of Athens’ culinary delights.
