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. You will feel like a local strolling around the food markets and tasting

5.00Today was an amazing experience of Thessaloniki, the food and the history of the city and area. The food was absolutely incredible, and even better because of all the stories and information behind it. Between the food stops we have been learning about the history of Thessaloniki. The guide is extremely well knowledged about all the history and really knows how to entertain multiple people in a group. Also the guide was very flexible for all of us (with food preferences).
Food and history in a captivating way

5.00Great tour with a guide who really knew Thessaloniki. Pauses with tasting where the guide, Panagiotis Karafoulidis, told about the coffee, food and restaurants that could be places where he ate as a child oxh that still had the same owners / staff. Panagiotis Karafoulidis also gave us the history of Thessaloniki in a way that was easy to keep up with. Highly recommended.
It was fantastic. More...

3.00Lot’s of walking, but no hills or steps. Did not get to sample as many food or beverage items as we have had on other food tours. Our guide went into great detail on the history of Thessaloniki.
