Taste Athens from bakeries to Varvakeios Market on a 3.5-hour local food walk with Greek specialties, market sights, and dining tips.

“We had a great time on this tour (6 of us). The food is fantastic, and diverse, and you get a nice walking tour of the area. Our guide was very engaging and kept a good pace so that even the younger ones in our group (who usually prefer to explore on their own) had a great time. I might have liked a little deeper explanation about the history of specific snacks or their relevance to daily life, but no one else in my group would have liked that so I'm 5-starring this one.”

“Come hungry because there is too much food on this tour. We started the morning with Greek pies, followed by lukamades. We then visited the central market and sampled lots of cheese including feta from the barrel and authentic sheep yogurt. We then visited a deli to sample different kinds of cured meats along with red/white wine, a local spirit, more cheese, olives and Paximadia. This was followed by a sit down lunch in a taverna right inside the market. Lunch was followed by visiting an olive shop and a dessert shop for coffee and desserts.

“We did a walking Food of Athens with Yannis. Despite not being able to visit the markets (closed on Sundays) he certainly made up for it by taking us to a hidden authentic Greek restaurant and a very cool bar down the road. The day was spent wandering the backstreets at a leisurely pace and stopping here and there for a tasting or a little history. Loved it and would recommend.”
