Athens Gourmet Food Small Group Walking Tour with Tastings

Description

Explore the food markets of Athens on a 4-hour walking tour and taste some of the delicious treats on offer.

Start with a traditional Greek breakfast of koulóuria (sesame bread rings), and then make your way to a century-old pastry shop to sample loukoumades (Greek donuts) and custard-filled filo squares. Enjoy local pies and cheeses at authentic Greek bakeries.

Next, wander through the meat and fish market, the living monument markets of the city. Try dark roasted coffee to one of the older coffee roasters downtown. Enjoy some local wine, organic produce olive oil and honey, seven-year-old aromatized vinegar, and the world-famous Greek yogurt produced at family farms at a small shop that sells fantastic gifts for your friends back home.

Wander down Evripidou Street, scented by herbs. Visit a local tavern and explore mezedes plates (local tapas). Then end your culinary exploration by enjoying the famous Greek souvlaki with chicken or pork gyros (Vegetarians are welcomed).
