Explore the food markets of Athens on a 4-hour walking tour and taste some of the delicious treats on offer.
Start with a traditional Greek breakfast of koulóuria (sesame bread rings), and then make your way to a century-old pastry shop to sample loukoumades (Greek donuts) and custard-filled filo squares.
Enjoy local pies and cheeses at authentic Greek bakeries.
Next, wander through the meat and fish market, the living monument markets of the city. Try dark roasted coffee to one of the older coffee roasters downtown. Enjoy some local wine, organic produce olive oil and honey, seven-year-old aromatized vinegar, and the world-famous Greek yogurt at a small shop that sells fantastic gifts for your friends back home.
Wander down Evripidou Street, scented by herbs. Visit a local tavern and explore mezedes plates (local tapas). Then end your culinary exploration by enjoying the famous Greek souvlaki with chicken or pork gyros (Vegetarians are welcome, gluten-free cannot be accommodated).

Had an amazing time with our tour guide. She took us off the beaten path a bit and we had delicious food. She was very knowledgeable as she had a background in nutrition, so she did a great job explaining food and the history of it. She took us to a restaurants that were less crowded, which was nice as it let us experience what life is like for the locals. Highly recommend this tour if you want to have real Greek food and an off the beaten path experience.

On my! This was an absolutely amazing tour with Helen. She is so full of knowledge, energy, and fun. She took us to her perfect spots for sampling so many different kinds of wonderful foods, treats, and coffee. We saw the Central Market, many different parts of the city, and learned so much because of Helen’s knowledge of the history of Athens. You eat, eat, eat and walk. This tour is something we all will remember. Thank you Helen for such an incredible time.

Authentic Greek Food, what's not to love! Highly recommend the experience for those new in Athens. Great way to understand the delicacies. It starts off with small bites as you tour Athens, only to follow by a large restaurant sit down followed by a delicious Gyros!

This was by far the best food tour ever! Dorela was a wonderful guide and we would recommend this tour highly.
We have done food tours in 5-6 different cities and we’ve never had so many varieties.
A must-do in Athens.
