Full description
Discover the city at a relaxing pace with your local expert who will share their love for delicious dishes and tasty products. This gastronomic adventure starts with a delicious Greek coffee and a delicacy while you enjoy the early morning vibe of the city and the view to Acropolis as you take the first sip. Travel through time as you get to know the history of one of the oldest coffee shops in Athens and find out everything you need to know about Greek coffee. The place is as instagrammable as it gets, so grab your cameras and shoot some great photos as you have your relaxing morning coffee chat! You must have heard a lot about morning snacks, but this one is definitely a newcomer to the Greek gastronomy. It is the most beloved healthy snack for Greeks coming with a special twist! The local culinary scene continues to evolve and you will be thrilled to discover something new. This is a surprise but fear not... you will love it! Keep exploring the most exciting flavors of Greece through a workshop where you will taste and learn more about some of the most delicious products of this country. This is also where the most vibrant part of the city is located, a year-round food oasis. Here you will feel the real pulse of the city, among food stalls, coffee shops, open-air markets, and well-hidden tavernas. Let your senses guide you; this is the local food market where you will mingle with the locals and you will observe, smell, and touch the best quality ingredients this city has to offer! If you think you have experienced enough, wait until you stroll around Spice street where you will find the best herbs that are collected from all over the Greek peninsula.  So, next time you cook for your friends, don’t get surprised if they ask you about your secret ingredient. Most probably. smelling all these different ingredients will have already stimulated your appetite. No worries! This is the moment to discover some of the best-hidden tavernas. Feel that old time nostalgia as these places are about to eclipse nowadays and there are only a few of them left. You will taste typical Greek tapas (mezes) and drink wine or ouzo in a place that will remind you of an old black & white film set back in the '60s! This is as authentic as it gets! And remember… the more hungry you come, the better! Important info: Please inform the supplier about any food allergies or dietary restrictions.

Christina was such a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about Greek cuisine. I booked this tour for our first day in Athens with the hope of getting an introduction to Greek food and also learn a bit about the neighborhoods in central Athens, and this tour did not disappoint. Highly recommended to give this one a try!

We really enjoyed our small group tour visiting several locally run restaurants / food businesses, along with a visit to the vibrant fish and meat market along the way. If you want to experience and taste the real Athens and go where the local people go, this is the tour for you. Go hungry, plenty of choice and works around what you like, and the opportunity to try what you thought you may not. Thanks Anna for a great afternoon. Loved it.

A wonderfull foodtour with our guide Zaphi (I hope I spell this correct). She took us true different places and explained a lot about the food and also about Athens. She made sure that there was enough food and ordered more if somebody wanted that. This was our first food tour ever but definitely not the last! Thank you for this amazing tour! Highly recommend.
