What To Expect
Come walk, eat, and explore Athens like a local! This fun street food tour, guided by a local expert, gives you the taste of the city’s traditions and daily life.
To start, go to Syntagma Square and follow your guide through the lively streets. First stop? A classic bakery where you will taste delicious handmade pies like tiropita (cheese pie).
Afterwards, go for Greek coffee at a traditional cozy café with sweet loukoumades (fried dough donuts with honey). Try a crunchy sesame bagel called koulouri that locals eat daily. Your guide will share stories about Greek food and culture as you walk.
Wander through the Central Market packed full of colorful stalls and fresh ingredients, breathing the real Athenian life.
Finish your Tour with Greece’s Favourite Street Food: Souvlaki! You have to try this simple, juicy, delicious meat on a skewer.
This is a fun and tasty way to experience the real Athens, which is more than just food. Join us and enjoy every bite!
