Overview

Explore the food markets of Athens on a 4-hour walking tour and taste some of the delicious treats on offer.
Start with a traditional Greek breakfast of koulóuria (sesame bread rings), and then make your way to a century-old pastry shop to sample loukoumades (Greek donuts) and custard-filled filo squares.
Enjoy local pies and cheeses at authentic Greek bakeries.
Next, wander through the meat and fish market, the living monument markets of the city. Try dark roasted coffee to one of the older coffee roasters downtown. Enjoy some local wine, organic produce olive oil and honey, seven-year-old aromatized vinegar, and the world-famous Greek yogurt at a small shop that sells fantastic gifts for your friends back home.
Wander down Evripidou Street, scented by herbs. Visit a local tavern and explore mezedes plates (local tapas). Then end your culinary exploration by enjoying the famous Greek souvlaki with chicken or pork gyros (Vegetarians are welcome, gluten-free cannot be accommodated).

Authentic Greek Food, what's not to love! Highly recommend the experience for those new in Athens. Great way to understand the delicacies. It starts off with small bites as you tour Athens, only to follow by a large restaurant sit down followed by a delicious Gyros!

This was by far the best food tour ever! Dorela was a wonderful guide and we would recommend this tour highly. We have done food tours in 5-6 different cities and we’ve never had so many varieties. A must-do in Athens.

Knowledgable guide Tasted several local Greek foods (and drinks) , plenty to eat Only 3 stars not sure the difference between a normal and gourmet food tour, the final tasting of different olive oils & vinegars seemed a bit of an unnecessary add on And we had a daughter of one guest on our tour and they were unable to supply a non alcoholic alternative (apart from water)

Our guide Anna was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. It was great to experience where the locals eat and there was plenty of food. We would highly recommend this tour, which was made more memorable thanks to Anna.

This tour was such a great introduction to Greece and Athens as a city. I especially loved how all of the food locations we went to was out of the ‘tourist area’ so we got authentic Greek food, and lots of it!! Our guide, Anna, knew a lot about the different areas, dishes and restaurants we visited which added to the experience in gaining more knowledge about Athens. She was very knowledgeable about the history which added to the tour as well. It was such a great way to spend an afternoon in Athens and I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone heading there in the future. I suffer from coeliac disease and I found this tour great to do compared to other places in Europe. Greek food is easily changed to be gluten free or naturally gluten free so that was a bonus. However, I had to risk it to try the loukamades, I don’t regret it!!
