Description

Taste Greek specialties in Athens' tastiest neighborhoods!

Highly regarded and cited by many international media, this tour will allow you to discover Athenians in their favorite activity: eating!

Your guide will first take you for an early morning wake-up call at one of the city's iconic cafés. Next, you'll taste a typical koulouri that Greeks nibble on the go. You'll continue your visit in a delicatessen where you'll taste various olive oils, honeys and tapenades.

Your culinary adventure will continue in a bakery where baklava is very famous here. You'll then eat an authentic souvlaki in a popular rotisserie, before heading to the real "belly of Athens", the central market hall of Varvakeios and its bustling aisles where meat, fish and vegetables are sold.

Your stroll will continue in the very oriental Spice Street, with a visit to a store offering an incredible variety of local aromatics, condiments and herbs. You'll then sample a bougatsa at a local grocery store.

You'll end your stroll at a small taverna specializing in traditional Greek cuisine, to enjoy a selection of Greek mezzes and 4 traditional starters.

You'll leave happy and with a full stomach!
