Athens Gourmet Food Tour
Adults: 0€ Children: 30€ Athens Gourmet Food tour – Meet your tour leader.
Meet your Athens food tour-loving leader in Monastiraki Square to begin your tour. As you walk, listen to your guide share fascinating insights into Greek cuisine, and explain the following tastings. Head into a centuries-old cafe to bite into your first Greek specialty of the day —Greek spinach pie, aka Spanakopita.
Time to eat some local food.
Next, dive into an enticing pastry shop to sample custard-filled filo squares and loukoumades. These golden puffs of delight are unlike any donut you’ve ever eaten before. Doused in sweet syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon and walnuts, loukoumades are delicious.
Continue onto your next stop and sink your teeth into a pie at an authentic Greek bakery before sampling local cheese at one of the district’s cheese stores. Then, head to the bustling meat and fish market of Varvakios Agora. Stroll past the many stalls, each bursting with color and aromatic produce, and taste some homegrown coffee. Unique in its taste, Greek coffee is brewed in a traditional small pot and served with foam on top and grounds at the bottom of the cup.
Where are the best spots for food? Lets us show you.
Next, visit some of the hidden specialty food stores to purchase tantalizingly fresh fruit, olives, cheese, ham, and other alluring deli produce before heading to a small souvenir shop to sample Greek yogurt, local wine, aged aromatized vinegar, organic olive oil, and honey. Here, take the opportunity to buy some gifts for your friends and family, if you so wish.
Finish your tour with a wander down Evripidou Street. Heady with the scent of clove and cinnamon, this exotic street is famous for the herb and spice shops that have thrived here since the early 20th century. Enjoy a final tasting before ending your private culinary exploration back at Monastiraki Square.
Gourmet Athens Food tour rated recently as the best culinary experience of Europe.
