Itinerary
We meet at one of the most central places in Athens and start our food experience by visiting the most local favorite place for pies! Taste cheese pie with authentic Greek feta cheese, spinach pie and more!
We reach the Athens central food markets, the liveliest part of Athens, walk in between customers and shop owners and experience the amazing atmosphere! Around that area we will taste various authentic Greek tastes, such us, cheeses, cold cuts, Greek coffee, lukumades (aka the Greek donut) and more! Of course a visit to the market area wouldn't be complete without olives and nuts tasting directly from the market!
At this beautiful and alternative Athenian district, with a lot of stories to tell, we will visit one of the oldest bakeries in town and taste the favorite Greek snack!
It wouldn't be an Athens food experience without tasting different varieties of honey, traditional drinks and of course the extra virgin olive oil! Learn what make an olive oil extra virgin and how to recognize the high quality! Later, visit a popular restaurant and try the most famous street food in Greece , suvlaki!

So much food but sooo delicious. Our guide Agatha was fabulous. She displayed her appreciation for Greek food and culture. Would do this again!
We were lucky to get this tour to ourselves on our honeymoon trip. Our guide Agatha was lovely. She made the experience something special. We stopped at 6 places and ultimately took some of our gyros home because there was so much food! We had a very nice walk around parts of the city we hadn't seen yet and learned a lot along the way.
Thank you so much for your review! Glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour!!
Authentic Taste of Athens! This 3.5‑hour food tour was a highlight of my time in Athens. We explored the real neighborhoods and markets where locals shop, and the variety of tastings was fantastic — from sweets and savory bites to cheeses, cured meats, olive oil, and even a little wine and beer. It all wrapped up perfectly with a traditional gyros. Our guide, Agatha, was excellent. She was knowledgeable, spoke perfect English, and made the entire experience easy, engaging, and fun. If you’re looking for something that feels genuinely local and authentic rather than touristy, this tour is a great choice.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the tour was a highlight of your time in the city and that you enjoyed exploring the real neighborhoods, local markets, and wide variety of tastings. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are delighted that the tour felt genuinely local and authentic. We hope to welcome you back to Athens in the future!
Agatha was a wonderful guide and the food was amazing. Having a bit of a stroll between the 5 courses was perfect.
Thank you so much for writing a review! Delighted to know you enjoyed the food experience!
Agatha was our guide for the day. We were fortunate because due to the transportation strike the next day, all the other people had canceled and we had Agatha to ourselves. We stopped at about 7 places for food or tastings, so plenty to eat and a good variety. Of all the food tours we have been on, Agatha was the first person who, if the type of food allowed for it, asked if we wanted to wrap up and take what we weren’t able to eat. So by the end of the day we had a small bag of about 3 or 4 leftovers. We thoroughly enjoyed our morning with Agatha, who was a delight to be with. Between the variety of food and our wonderful guide, I would definitely recommend this food tour.

Agatha was a fantastic guide of local Athenian cuisine. We started with local Greek coffee & pastries, and ended with gyros & local beer. Very enjoyable chatting with her about how the city has changed around food!
Thank you so much for your review! It was a pleasure to meet you! Best
Guide was friendly and inclusive. She showed us all around the different parts of the city and gave us insight to the different foods we were eating. Easy pace and wide variety of foods for different occasions. And there was alcohol to try! Best experience for adventurous eaters!

Agathi was delightful - the food and the small group atmosphere made this trip special. Her personal stories were so much fun and she was so nice to make sure a perticular food allergy was covered. Definitely take this trip !!
Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed it! Best wishes!
We had a lovely (and delicious) time walking around and tasting the delights of Athens with Agatha, our tour guide. She was so kind and a pleasure to chat with. She was extremely knowledgeable not only about cuisine, but also about the area and its history. She even gave us some great recommendations for our travel to Crete! This tour is a great way to ensure you get a taste of Athens local favorites. I had my favorite meal of our whole trip on the tour, Gemista, and will be spending the next few weeks trying my best to recreate it a home. Thanks so much, Eureka Athens and especially Agatha!
Thank you so much for your review! We are delighted to know that you had a nice time!
The tour exceeded our expectations. Agatha gave us a personalized experience. She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions concerning Greece, Athens and the other cities we planned to visit during our travels in Greece. Her choice of foods, shops and venues was representative of the local culture and cuisine. Being a native of Greece she also shared numerous stories and personal experiences of her life in the country from childhood to adulthood, which helped us to relate to the culture.
Thank you so much for your review! We are delighted you enjoyed the food tour!
