プラカ・アット・トワイライト アテネの食の心のもう一つの側面

What a fantastic food tour. Our guide Natali was wonderful - so knowledgeable about the food but also the city. Highly recommended.

Natali was a fantastic guide for our twilight culinary tour of Plaka in Athens. With a relaxed pace, Natali took us to some amazing and varied culinary experiences that we otherwise would not have known - these were special, local places curated to give us a unique variety of the flavors of Athens - no need for moussaka or baklava on this excursion! This was our second Culinary Backstreets experience in Europe and we will always look for them in our travel destinations - they do not disappoint!

This was one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide Constantin was so knowledgeable about food, culture and history. The selection was great, starting with the best yoghurt I’ve ever tasted, then on to a bakery, olive oil tasting, dinner in a great taverna, then wine bar and gelato. It was a smallish group which was also great. Highly recommend.

Highly recommend this tour of the Plaka at Twilight. Our tour guide Yannis was awesome, his passion & knowledge of the history of Athens was outstanding. Great food tastings and lovely dinner in a traditional Taverna.

This food tour took us through amazing neighborhoods to small local restaurants and shops. It was lots of walking but totally worth it! Yannis was able to not only share great food experiences but he is so knowledgeable about Greek history. He really helped us understand the importance and history of Greek food and culture! What a great time!

Wonderful evening with a small group. We were shown cute neighborhoods and tried so many tastes and treats. Come hungry. Worth doing!

A great experience; Konstantinos was an excellent well informed and good humoured leader. The program was well-devised.

Fantastic experience! Our guide Yiannis was very knowledgeable and great experience!

Long story short, this was a banger of a food tour. My wife and I love to do a food tour in each city we visit, and thus far, this Culinary Backstreets tour reigns supreme. This may be partially because we ended up being the only ones who joined the tour that night, but its also undoubtedly because amazing relationships that our guide (Gulden) has developed within the community of Plaka. Athenians (and Grecians, overall) are an incredibly welcoming group by nature, but when we were in tow with Gulden, we got to experience so much more than what would be available to the average visiting American -- extra special items, second helpings, you name it. Oh, and if you like architecture, she even runs her own architectural tours and showed us all the extra special parts of Plaka that we might have missed otherwise! Gulden even stayed out with us later than we initially anticipated, since we were having so much fun and taking in all of the knowledge she had to offer. From yogurt to olive oil tastings, to spanikopita and Greek wine, to Greek favorites (zucchini fritters, dolmades, etc.) at a taverna facing the Acropolis, we literally ate until we could eat no more, and I truly have no regrets about it. I highly recommend this tour, and Gulden as its guide. You truly cant go wrong!

We had a wonderful evening with Gulden, wish she could do the rest of our trip with us! She was so informative & full of interesting anecdotes. The food was fabulous & we enjoyed the walk thru Athens. Thanks!
