Kotzia Square, Athens, Greece You’ll meet your local guide and begin this Athens tour by exploring Kotzia Square, located in the heart of Athens. The square is surrounded by gorgeous neoclassical buildings, which were constructed in the early 18th century, and also some ancient ruins of old houses that you will have a peek at on your way to the market. 15 minutes
Central Market, Athens, Greece Your local guide will show you around the best of the Central Market, taking you to places few tourists venture and helping you discover a variety of delicious Greek specialties. From the simple koulouri (a round-shaped bread with sesame seeds) and delicate local pastries, to the Greek staples of feta and olives, the Central Market is a feast for the senses. 50 minutes
Agia Irini Church, Athens, Greece We also try either an invigorating Greek coffee (in the winter) or a cold frappe in warmer days, which are popular local beverages. Athens food is a rich mix of old and new, traditional and modern, and this tour is the perfect way to discover all these aspects. 40 minutes
Athens Street, Athens, Greece Next on this culinary tour of Athens, we drop by a Greek deli that sells traditional produce and is a popular shopping place for locals.

This tour is so special. We tasted many different types of food, sweets and real Greek coffee. The food was amazing and truly unique to Athens! I cannot say enough good things about Nikoleta. She is warm, kind, knowledgeable and a great story teller! She makes you feel that you’re out with a friend. Very highly recommend!

We like to do a walking food tour the first day in any new country and this food tour did not disappoint. The food was amazing and Nikoleta took us to places we would have never found on our own. I had the best beans of my life (no exaggeration). They were fantastic! Nikoleta was knowledgeable, fun, and full of wonderful recommendations. I highly recommend this food tour and request Nikoleta!!!
