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.

Andreas was a very informative guide and we thoroughly enjoyed his tour. Thankyou
Our guide Andreas was the best. He shared history of food and the people of Greece and the food tastings were delicious and authentic! A really wonderful experience Thanks Andreas
Ok, I gotta say I’m always a little bit picky, and Simos was completely amazing. He made everyone feel so welcome, included and he always has something interesting to share about Athens and Greece. You can definitely see how passionate he is about this, and that this is more than just a job for him. He actually enjoys the tour, which makes you want to join him in that experience. He went above and beyond on everything: tasting, food, tips, etc. I am very impressed about how professional and warm he is. I will 100% recommend this tour to everyone around me.
An amazing experience in Athens that provided not only a great variety of delicious foods, but a history of Athens, and how it's food culture came to be. Would highly recommend.
I signed up for this food tour and was blown away from start to finish - not only did we sample 15 different dishes but our guide Andreas offers a detailed description description of the history and importance of each dish in Greek culture. 100% recommend this for solo or group travelers!
Wonderful introduction to Greek food and a little history along the way. I greatly enjoyed the experience. Our tour guide was kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable.
Simois is a most excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable and good story teller. Simois gave a good background of Athens at the start of the trip. Each stop had excellent food from very local family owned establishments. Highly recommend! Just go hungry-you will be presented with lots of food.
Great food, great explanations and a fun overall experience
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.
