Thessaloniki
The main characteristic of Thessaloniki that the Standard Gastro Route is going to explore is its multiculturalism. This route is designed in detail to introduce you to the essential and authentic spots of gastronomy and culture at the heart of Thessaloniki. It’s a tribute to local significant food trademarks such as the famous “koulouri” and the queen of pastries, “bougatsa”. And then, a real dive into local recipes and gastronomic spots that would never catch a traveler’s eye. We are going to discover a variety of daily fished seafood, dairy products, marinated anchovies, herbs and fresh meat choices perfectly combined in the local cuisine while wandering through the famous food markets, the grocery stores and pastry shops. But, what you will enjoy the most as a guest is the unique experience and enthusiasm that chef Panos offers while guiding you through the crossroads of taste and gastronomic history.

Fantastic tour – 10/10! This was so much more than a food tour. Not only do you get to try delicious & interesting local dishes, but Panos also weaves in rich historical & sociological context that makes everything come alive. As a chef, he brings unique insight into the food and culture, and over the course of 4 hours you get to explore different neighborhoods at a perfect pace. He’s friendly, inclusive, knowledgeable, and his passion for Greek food is contagious. Highly recommend!
