Athens’ central square is Syntagma Square. Naturally, it’s a hub of activity and the starting point for one of the country’s top food tours. This is a delectable journey around the city’s different street-food vendors, offering insight into Greek culture through food. An Athens food tour includes visits to less touristic neighborhoods and open-air markets bustling with merchants and consumers, and it emphasizes the Mediterranean diet and its numerous health benefits.
The Delicious Athens Food Tour allows you to see a distinct aspect of the city by participating in what is perhaps the Greeks’ favorite activity: eating! With so much to see and do in a city that never ceases surprising you, you’ll soon find yourself feeling the same way.There is no doubt that every tour that you may choose will start with a Greek coffee, one of the city’s landmarks and then with some traditional snacks such as Koulouri ,tiropita, spanakopita etc.
You’ll be able to sample various olive oils, spreads, and other surprises there, but keep in mind that there are more culinary stops to come!
This is your chance to try something new: one of the next stops is for sure a baklava bakery with a rich history and some of Greece’s best syrup sweets. Then next stop is a popular grill for authentic souvlaki and fried potatoes before venturing into the traditional “core of the city,” the busy Varvakios Market, Athens’ largest and most popular fish, meat, and vegetable market. Locals come here to purchase for their daily necessities as well as their Easter lamb or Christmas turkey. From this tour you ca miss a stop by a traditional pastry shop for a serious sugar rush as you will tuck into a bougatsa (a traditionalcream-filled phyllo treat).
There are a lot more to come but we should leave some of them for a last minute surprise !This will be an experience that you will never forget!
