Itinerario
Pasearemos por las calles del centro de la ciudad de Atenas mientras visitamos a los vendedores ambulantes de comida griega tradicional; verdaderos íconos atenienses, negocios familiares multigeneracionales y nuevos empresarios de alimentos encomiables. menú de muestra Pasteles dulces y salados que nunca olvidará (es decir, pastel de queso, pastel de espinacas) Koulouri (anillo de pan de sésamo tostado): el desayuno favorito de Grecia para llevar. este pan de forma redonda está repleto de buenos carbohidratos y proteínas. Cata de aceite de oliva ecológico. Un café griego elaborado tradicionalmente
La plaza Mitropoleos es una de las plazas con más encanto del centro histórico de Atenas, situada a solo unos minutos a pie de la plaza Syntagma y del barrio de Plaka. La plaza está dominada por la impresionante Catedral Metropolitana de Atenas (también conocida como la Catedral de la Anunciación), la iglesia más grande de Atenas y la sede del arzobispo de Grecia. Justo al lado de la catedral se encuentra la Pequeña Metrópolis (Iglesia de Agios Eleftherios), una iglesia bizantina del siglo XII famosa por sus intrincadas tallas en piedra y detalles arquitectónicos. El contraste entre la grandeza de la Catedral Metropolitana y la escala íntima de la Pequeña Metrópoli ilustra maravillosamente las capas de la historia ateniense, desde la era bizantina hasta la Grecia moderna. Hoy en día, la Plaza Mitropoleos es un animado punto de encuentro rodeado de cafés, tiendas y calles peatonales, por lo que es un lugar ideal para hacer una pausa mientras explora el centro de Atenas.
Esta hermosa y vibrante plaza solía ser el hogar del mercado de flores de la ciudad. Solo quedan un par de vendedores de flores, ya que el resto ha sido reemplazado por cafeterías y restaurantes, convirtiéndose en uno de los lugares más populares de la ciudad. Fácil de alcanzar sin importar de dónde vengas, autónoma y pacífica, sin tráfico molesto, la próspera plaza está llena de vida la mayor parte del día. Disfrutaremos de un manjar especial de Creta, un pastel como ningún otro. ¡Se llama Sfakiani y es delgada como una crepe con queso suave por dentro y miel por encima! Menú de muestra: Rakomelo: esta famosa bebida alcohólica mezclada se elabora combinando Raki (un brandy con sabor a uva), con miel y especias cálidas como cardamomo, canela y hierbas locales.
Menú de muestra: El último postre de comida callejera griega: Loukoumades, también conocido como "honey puffs" en el mejor lugar durante 100 años. La calle Aiolou es una histórica calle central pavimentada que conecta la plaza Omonia con la calle Ermou. Su nombre deriva del antiguo dios griego de los vientos, Eolo. Construida en 1833, la calle Aiolou es una de las calles más antiguas de Atenas.
¡Visita el vibrante mercado abierto de pescado y carne de la ciudad! Menú de muestra: Souvlaki, nuestra comida callejera nacional. Hay cientos de lugares de Souvlaki, pero unos pocos realmente buenos. ¡Te llevaremos por uno de los más deliciosos, auténticos y aclamados!
Ejemplo de menú: quesos griegos con DOP (Destino de Origen Protegido), carnes únicas como el pastora y el tsipouro. La meca de las tiendas de hierbas y especias de Atenas. Las pequeñas empresas familiares han sido el sustento de esta calle durante décadas, convirtiéndola en la primera parada de cualquier ateniense interesado en la comida. DOP (Destino de Origen Protegido) Quesos griegos y carnes únicas. Tsipouro, un popular licor destilado de uva hecho puro o perfumado con anís. Se sirve como bienvenida a los invitados, como acompañamiento del meze o como combustible para las risas entre viejos amigos en los cafés de toda Grecia.
¡Psyri o Psiri es central, moderno y poco convencional! Es un colorido barrio neoclásico conocido por sus artesanos, tiendas especializadas, restaurantes, bares, tabernas (con o sin música en vivo), teatros, tiendas de arte y antigüedades, así como una pequeña cantidad de hoteles.
Ejemplo de menú: degustación de miel griega. 3 deliciosas variedades distintas. La plaza Kotzia está rodeada de preciosos edificios neoclásicos entre los que destaca el antiguo ayuntamiento. aquí también hay un pequeño yacimiento arqueológico (donde se puede ver el sistema de abastecimiento de agua de la ciudad que data de hace 2000 años) que ha salido a la luz recientemente tras las excavaciones del aparcamiento subterráneo.
Situado a la sombra de la Acrópolis, el barrio de Monastiraki es una mezcla de estilos arquitectónicos, épocas y culturas, junto a los distritos de Psyri, Plaka y Thisio. La plaza Monastiraki es una de las plazas más encantadoras de Atenas y alberga restaurantes, cafés, tiendas, el famoso mercadillo y mucha historia antigua. En la plaza, puedes admirar la iglesia hundida de Pantanassa, la única parte que queda del monasterio (o más bien convento) que existió en el lugar durante el período bizantino y que dio nombre a la zona (Monastiraki significa pequeño monasterio). Pero para muchos, Monastiraki es principalmente sinónimo de antigüedades y tesoros antiguos gracias a los mercados de pulgas y tiendas de antigüedades que salpican el área hacia Abyssinia Square.

What a fantastic food tour. We went to several places but never felt like it was too much or too little. Eva taught us about each bite and the history of the recipes as well as how locals cook these staple items. Eva made this tour everything we hoped it could be - walking, history, culture, understanding and food as part culture. We had high expectations for this tour based on reviews and those were exceeded by the places we visited, but mostly because of Eva. She has that extra something special that makes it feel like you are learning about each neighborhood and food with a friend. Will be recommending this tour to anyone we know going to Athens!
We took a food tour with Valentini in August of 2026. We had a wonderful time and visited venues that we would not have found on our own; we learnt so much about culture and history and food! Valentini has a passion for great quality food, and she knows where to find the best and most authentic vendors. I really appreciated how woderfully balanced the tour was. I felt engaged, entertained, but also relaxed. Walking and sitting and sampling food (with access to facilities) was tailored to our needs and abilities, so we never felt tired. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Athens.
Dear Thalia, Thank you so much for your beautiful review. We are absolutely delighted to know that you enjoyed your time with Athens Bites and, most importantly, that you felt relaxed, engaged and well looked after throughout the experience. We believe the best food tours are about creating a complete experience of a city. That is why we carefully hand-pick every vendor, tasting, street and story, bringing together the food, history, culture and everyday life of Athens in a way that feels both authentic and memorable. Our guides share a genuine passion for Athens and its food, and we take great pride in making each tour personal and enjoyable while respecting the pace and needs of our guests. All The Best!!
Cannot recommend this tour enough. It was our favorite during a two week trip to Greece, and maybe our favorite ever. You will not only learn about the food (also receive detailed information shared later via email), you also hear about the traditions, history, etc. Katarina was an absolute pleasure to be with and was proactive about a food allergy, including bringing alternative options at every stop. A must do!!
Dear Claire, Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! We are deeply honored and genuinely thrilled to hear that our tour was your favorite experience during your two-week trip to Greece — and perhaps even your favorite tour ever. That means the world to us! We are especially happy that you enjoyed the experience beyond the food itself. We believe that Greek food is inseparable from our traditions, history, culture and way of life, and we love sharing all these stories with our guests. And thank you for highlighting Katerina. She genuinely cares about the people she welcomes and takes great pride in making every guest feel comfortable and well looked after. Her love for Greek food and her passion for Athens, combined with her attentiveness and professionalism, make her an excellent and truly authentic guide. We are particularly pleased that she was able to take such good care of your food allergy and ensure that you had wonderful alternatives at every stop. We put a great deal of love and care into every detail of our tours because we deeply respect our guests’ time and the trust they place in us. Hearing that this care translated into such a memorable experience is the greatest compliment we could receive. Thank you again for recommending us so warmly. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Athens someday for more food, stories and discoveries! All The Best!!
Vanna (Val) gave a FANTASTIC 5 Star tour. It was not only an incredible food tour but also a tour through Greek history, culture and architecture! For me the highlights included tastings of halva in a store selling all natural Halva (and other products) in many different flavors; seeing and learning how authentic Greek coffee is made, Olive oil tasting and explanation about the types of olive oil and of course souvlaki at the best soulvlaki restaurant in Athens (Really!) complete with an explanation of the history of souvlaki and how it is prepared. I highly recommend this tour!!!... Kenny
Dear Kenny, Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review and for taking the time to share your experience! It was an absolute pleasure having you with us, and we are delighted that you enjoyed not only the food but also the history, culture and architecture that make Athens such a fascinating city. We put a great deal of love, care and thought into creating our tours. We deeply love what we do, and we also deeply respect the time our guests choose to spend with us. That is why we have carefully designed our itinerary and handpicked every single tasting and stop — each one must be truly exceptional and, in our opinion, the very best of its kind. From the halva and Greek coffee to the olive oil and, of course, the souvlaki, our goal is always to introduce our guests to authentic products and places where people genuinely master their craft. We are especially happy that you appreciated the stories behind the food as much as the tastings themselves. For us, food is one of the best ways to understand Greece — its history, traditions, people and everyday culture. Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending us. All The Best!!
We arrived to Athens at 11:30 AM after an overnight flight. This food tour was the best activity to kick off our two night stay. Our hotel room was not ready and this was the perfect way to spend the afternoon tasting delicious Greek food and learning about the culture. Highly recommend Valentini as a guide, she was wonderful.

Your recommendation means a lot, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Wishing you many more wonderful travels ahead. All The Best!!
Vana was a wonderful guide and not only gave us good information about the food we ate but historical significance as well. The food was all delicious and we would recommend this tour for anyone.
