Itinerary

Stop 1

The building of the academy of Athens, a stunning specimen of classic Greek architecture

Stop 2

Taste Traditional Greek Pies 15 mins We’ll kick things off by exploring why pies (pitas) are a cornerstone of Greek gastronomy. You’ll bite into perfectly crispy, golden phyllo dough and discover the rich, savory fillings that locals grab on the go every morning.

Stop 3

Everyone loves a good surprise! We’ll make a quick stop to enjoy a unique, mouth-watering Greek twist on one of the world's most famous street foods. (We can't tell you what it is, but we promise you'll love it!)

Stop 4

Dive into Varvakios Central Market and Athenian Oyster Experience (30 mins) Step into the loud, vibrant heart of Athens' culinary scene at the historic Varvakios Market. We'll navigate the bustling, energetic fish market and treat ourselves to incredibly fresh oysters right there on the spot. (Sadly, only tours ending up to 16:00 are eligible due to the market closing, for later tours there will be another suprise!)

Stop 5

Enjoy the famous Greek mezze culture 45 mins Time to slow down and enjoy the original Greek meze culture. We’ll pair crispy, flavor-packed courgette fritters (kolokithokeftedes) and sardines marinated (a Greek delicacy) with a shot of traditional Tsipouro! Then we will savor authentic dolmades and spicy pastourma (air dried cured meat) beautifully matched with the iconic anise-flavored Ouzo. Yamas! (Cheers!)

Stop 6

Honey,Olives and Olive oil Tasting 15 mins Next, we'll shift to the earthy flavors of the Mediterranean .We will taste 5 different types of Greek olives ,Olive paste (a famous Greek spread) and Greek honey . To top it all off, we'll share a refreshing, sweet shot of Mastiha—a unique, aromatic liqueur made from tree resin found only on the Greek island of Chios.

Stop 7

Time to taste a real Athenian hidden gem!

Stop 8

No food tour in Greece is complete without the absolute king of street food. You'll savor the finest, juiciest Gyro in the city, wrapped in a warm pita with fresh tomatoes, onions, and rich tzatziki sauce.

Stop 9

There's always room for dessert! We’ll wrap up our tasting feast by indulging in Loukoumades—the legendary Greek-style donuts. Freshly fried, soaked in honey syrup, and dusted with cinnamon, it’s the perfect sweet finish.
