Explore Athen's food markets on a 4-hour walking tour. Taste delicious treats and visit local stores selling Greece's "Green Treasures" such as olive oil, wines, mushrooms, herbs, and traditionally made pasta and salamis. Start with a traditional Greek breakfast of koulóuria (sesame bread rings) in a century-old café. To sample loukoumades (Greek donuts) and custard-filled filo squares, continue to a tiny pastry shop. Enjoy local pies and cheeses at authentic Greek bakeries and cheese stores. Next, wander through the famous meat and fish markets. Try roasted home-grown coffee and visit specialty shops for fresh fruit, olives, cheese, ham, and other deli produce. Enjoy local wine, organically produced olive oil and honey, aged aromatized vinegar, and world-famous Greek yogurt made at family farms. Wander down Evripidou Street, scented by herbs. End your culinary exploration at the deli stores in the historic city center, where your food tour leader will take you to some of the most authentic downtown mezedes taverns (Greek tapas).

Great tour. There were 7 of us so not a big group like other tours we saw. Irene was our guide and she was great. Great pacing and at end of day a lot of (really good) food so do come with an appetite. You really do get a sample of mist typical Greek foods in a half day and also the wine and olive oil tasting was actually a really good way to finish. Irene was very knowledgeable about food and Athens/Greece, answering any questions. Would definitely recommend.

We booked this tour for our second day in Athens and we were not disappointed. The tour included more than what we expected. From food to wine and even olive oils tastings, we were delightly pleased. The tour also included a bit of story of the street market area visited explained by our guide. Try to book as early as possible during your trip in Athens to have as much information on the best spots to visit in the next following days of your trip. Our guide Irene was very friendly and provided a lot of explanation and answers to our questions. Thank you Irene for the amazing tour!!!

This was one of our favorite activities in Athens! We learned a lot and continued to reference what we learned throughout our 2 weeks in Greece. Irene was an awesome guide - very fun, knowledgeable, and quick witted. She made the tour tons of fun and took us to some very cool places while also teaching us a lot. Can’t recommend her enough. Come hungry - it’s lots of food!
