Athens Half Day Walking City Food Tour

Being a foodie I enjoy looking for places that offer food with flavors, aromas, colors and top quality. On this food tour I will take you to my favorite hidden authentic food stores where you will realize why the Greeks practice mindful eating. You will try all my favorite things that I cook also in my house and I will share with you my Greek recipes! What the travelers enjoy about this experience is that they feel the real pulse of the city and they get the chance to walk the off-the-beaten-track neighborhoods, mix with the locals and sample some of Greece's finest delicacies.

At the beggining of our tour we walk at the beautiful traditional area of Plaka. Then we explore the off-the-beaten-track neighborhoods. We will admire the local food stores with the regional spices and herbs, smell the freshly baked delicacies, stroll through the vibrant local food market with the 150 years history. During our several different stops you will try the Greek coffee and taste typical food like gyros (meat in pita bread with tzatziki sauce), handmade pies , loukoumades (fried doughnut balls with honey and cinnamon topping), variety of cheese and dry meat accompanied with wine and Greek spirit tsipouro. Learn about the history of Greek gastronomy and the secrets of the famous Mediterranean diet.
