Athens Half Day Walking City Food Tour

At the beggining of our tour we walk at the beautiful traditional area of Plaka. We will enjoy a Greek coffee and the "spoon sweets" in a cafeteria hosted in an old house. 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 taste typical food like gyros (meat in pita bread with tzatziki sauce), handmade pies like bougasta (a pastry consisting of semolina custard or cheese filling), loukoumades (fried doughnut balls with honey and cinnamon topping), variety of cheese and dry meat. Learn about the history of Greek gastronomy and the secrets of the famous Mediterranean diet.
