The historic Plaka district might be one of Athens’ most popular tourist destinations, but there’s another part of the area that vsitors rarely see, one where the city’s ancient heart beats a little louder.
Under the shadow of the Acropolis, this is the place that saw the birth of classical Greek and Western civilization and also the turbulent arrival of Christianity. There are traces here of the ancient Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottomans, found in the ruins, churches, local houses, and – most importantly – in the food.

Culinary Backstreets Food Tour with Carolina was one of the best food tours we have ever done. Carolina was delightful and knowledgeable, and we enjoyed every taste of the day. There was such a lovely variety of food and drinks to taste including chocolates, coffee, savory pies, amazing local yogurt, cheeses, souvlaki, olive oil (so good that we bought several varieties), and then a delicious lunch (with so many different dishes to taste) to finish the day. She also introduced us to several local drinks to include a local grappa called Tsipouro and Mastiha which is a sweeter liqueur. It was a perfect day that included learning about the culture, visiting some of the local sites, and most importantly, sampling and enjoying the local Greek food. We highly recommend this tour – especially as a nice way to start your visit and get an understanding of the local food and culture.

Amazing! Constantine was an incredible guide. Super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, very engaging. He made a point to ensure all folks on our tour were covered in regards to dietary considerations. As it was Easter Saturday, some of the normal stops were not available and he adjusted on the fly and kept us SO FULL. The pace was also really good, not too fast and not too far between stops. Lots of great history lessons too! Absolutely recommend this experience!
