Itinerary
The central square of Athens is dominated by the Greek Parliament (formerly the Royal Palace) and characterized by the high energy level created by the constant movement of people through the city’s busiest crossroads.
Souvenir shops, ancient monuments and the oldest area of the city attract the greatest concentration of tourists in Athens to this picturesque cluster of narrow alleys just below the towering stone sides of the Acropolis...
Hadrian’s library, great street food and an underground river hidden in a metro station await those who come to this antique and flea market area in search of a bargain or a look of one the city’s few surviving Ottoman mosques.
Long a neighbourhood where local craftsmen worked out of small shops, Psirri is now one of the city’s hottest new spots for evening food and drink. It’s also one of the best places to check out the city’s latest street art.
Athens' food market, bustling with locals seeking fresh produce, meats, and fish. Despite its lively atmosphere, it remains a true reflection of daily life, offering a genuine experience of the city's culinary culture.

We did the "delicious Athens food tour". Our guide Mariza was super nice and friendly, the places she took us were all excellent and we had a lovely experience. Don't eat too much at any one place, by the end you get too full :-) and the food was all amazing!
Andreas our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgeable of the history of Greece, culture and food. It’s a definite must do.
The tour was well planned, the routes not too long, lots of information even outside of the food area, Elissavet spoke good English and also Spanish, and above all, there were fantastic Greek delicacies... all possible stars for our Greek guide.
We had a fabulous food tour with Antigone as our guide. Lots of delicious food and interesting stories to accompany. I thoroughly recommend this tour- you will leave with a very full belly 😁
Great way to get to learn the Greek cuisine. Elena was especially lovely!
Fantastic tour! Andreas was knowledgeable and fun, and the food was incredible and oh-so plentiful. We were happily stuffed and came away with so much interesting information about Greek culture, language, and, of course, food! Highly recommend. We have taken many food, cultural, and historical tours around the world, and this one was one of the best.
Mariza did a great job and took my husband and I to the best hot spots. There was a mix of different foods, including desserts and everything was delicious. We definitely recommend this tour!

This tour was so wonderful with Pavlina as our guide. We tasted so much delicious food and learned a lot about the area and the history of the food. We also walked through a few different districts. We booked this tour while in port on a cruise, it was easy to get a taxi to and from port and enjoy this unique experience!
Very interesting tour through the authentic restaurants of Athens with valuable background information ℹ️ n the history of greek dishes.
