Taste the most local food in Athens. Skip the tourist traps and discover the local bites of the Greek culture. More than 14 traditional, delicious, freshly cooked tastings. We will be walking in the heart of central Athens, where Athenians do their shopping for the daily meal.

We will introduce you to the vendors of our favorite local shops, share traditional breakfast delicacies, smell and learn about herbs and spices, visit a deli shop to taste the original honey glazed yoghurt and take you to the magical word of olives. Also, one of the best Greek traditional restaurants (mageirio) will be accommodating you for a seated lunch, cheese tasting and of course, you’ll try a dessert.
During the walk, you’ll meet our old friends in the oldest vegetable, fish and meat market of Athens and you’ll also try our best wines and distillates of the region.
Get the chance to know how to cook all the dishes you will try, and get local insight into recipes, tips for Athens, the islands and the culinary traditions.

Wonderful & Filling Food toir

Our daughter and son-in-law recommended this tour to us. We joined Douk and 8 others on the tour. We walked through a part of central Athens we probably wouldn’t have otherwise, stopping at various vendors, including in the old Athens market. We sampled items along the way, and Douk was very knowledgeable about both food and general history. The tour culminated with a very nice lunch and a drink of your choice. Everyone on the tour agreed this was the most food they had ever had on a food tour. Quality, quantity and and excellent guide / host. Highly recommended food / history tour.

A Gastronomic Adventure Beyond the Tourist Trail

We recently had the pleasure of joining the Delicious Athens food tour, and it was an extraordinary experience that we will never forget. Led by the knowledgeable and friendly guide, Douk, this tour allowed us to discover the authentic and local tastes of Athens and Greece in a way that is simply not possible on traditional touristy tours. From the moment we started our adventure, it was clear that Douk's passion for Greek cuisine and culture was unmatched. Not only did we have the opportunity to savor an array of delicious dishes, but Douk also shared a wealth of fascinating information about Greece as a whole, including its history and even Greek mythology that I am a fan of. It was like getting a crash course in Greek culture while delighting our taste buds. The tour was particularly fantastic for families, as my son had an absolute blast. Douk effortlessly engaged his attention and made sure every member of the group felt included and entertained. My son not only enjoyed the food but also eagerly absorbed all the fascinating stories and facts shared by Douk. I highly recommend the Delicious Athens food tour to anyone visiting Athens, whether you're a food lover or simply curious about Greek cuisine. This experience will open your palate, mind, and heart to the true essence of Athens, leaving you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
