5.00Just had the loveliest time with Barbara today! We saw a wide array of food and got to know Athens from the viewpoint of a born and raised Athenian. Her knowledge about food and culture really gave us a great feel for the city as visitors who want to immerse ourselves. We also enjoyed the company of our fellow participants and had amazing food. Such a great vibe!
