Overview

Mobile ticket
This is a food tour where we stroll through some non-touristic parts of Athens, exploring the rich culinary history that has influenced our culture and traditions. Our journey begins at Panepistimio metro station, Korai square, where we encounter a traditional kiosk for Koulouri, considered to be the Greek to go breakfast.
At each stop, I will share the background story of the product or meal, highlighting its significant role in our cuisine throughout history. Along the way, you can expect interesting and amusing anecdotes that add to the experience.
One of the highlights of the tour includes visiting the first pastry shop in town, established after Greek independence. Here, we will have the pleasure of tasting the traditional Greek style doughnuts.

Tasting local eats with Anna

5.00Anna was such a lovely host to my family on our street food tour. She gave some history of Athens, as well as taking us to many local eats that her and her family have eaten for many years. The food we ate while in the tour was delicious! We had a great variety of sweet and savory foods. We visited a spice shop, the Municipal Market, Olive tasting, and many restaurants. This tour was full of hidden gems we would have never visited on our own! She also gave us great recommendations of places to try on our own time.
Don't miss this while you are in Athens!

5.00George was great. He tailored our experience based on our interest. He showed us must-visit spots and authentic food. While walking he told us some history. He was also open to exploring off the planned guide. We lit some candles and made wishes. I wish we had larger stomachs. Yamas!
Wonderful food tour experians!
