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.

Great tour blending delicious food and interesting history. We've been on many food tours in different countries and this was one of the best. The food is great, but mostly it's Panagiotis... he makes the tour a step above. From what I read and what we experienced, it seems the tour contents must change from tour to tour... if we could, we'd be happy take it again and see where the day takes us!

Today 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).
