Description
Eating Athens Food Tour
Explore the traditions, flavours and daily life of Athens on foot with our small-group food tour led by a passionate local guide. Begin with a hands-on lesson in Greek coffee-making, where you’ll sample this delicious, strong brew and learn how to tell fortunes from the grounds left in your cup.
Your journey continues with a comparison of both sweet and savoury pies made from phyllo and bougatsa, teaching you how Greeks master the art of pastry. Budding pastry chefs can even try their hand at assembling gyros or souvlaki—an iconic dish enjoyed by Athenians from all walks of life.
Charcuterie tastings feature a trio of cheeses, cured meats and other local favourites sourced from Greece’s rich countryside. You’ll make (and of course eat!) the original Greek ‘cheesecake’, blending rustic bread, creamy cheese and Attica’s finest honey into a centuries-old dessert tradition.
Between tastings, you’ll explore the city, from Monastiraki’s vibrant, historic lanes, buzzing with music and market stalls, to the colourful, creative energy of Psiri, home to street art and a youthful, artistic spirit.
Along the way, you’ll also meet dedicated members of a local NGO who will share inspiring stories and their impact on the community. Join us to get to know the real Athens, a city where every dish holds a story and a warm welcome awaits.
