★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,087 reviews · 4 hours · from $81Best value

Cook Greek classics after shopping Athens Central Market with a local chef, wine, and a generous shared meal at The Greek Kitchen.

“We went as a group of 5. Total we were round about 13-15 people but perfectly split between 2 tables. Our Master chef was funny, super attentive and motivating. He even put a candle on our desert as it was my fathers birthday. Highly recommend. Dishes were easy and this means we can just redo them at home. Group was also fun”

3.Athens, Greek food tour including market visit

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 618 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $83

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.”
