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.
Join us in a “Mediterranean Diet” food tour and discover the secrets of our culinary tradition.
In case your preferred dates are not available, you can always ask us to make some room and we will be happy to host you.

All dietary restrictions can be met.
Looking forward to meeting and hosting you to our Delicious Athens.

Wonderful food tour!

This food tour was a wonderful introduction to Athens. Douk was like your best friend living in the city, taking us to all his favorite places. Along the way, we visited local shops, sampling bites and drinks we most likely would not have found. We also learned about olives and spices, visited the local markets, and culminated in a wonderful lunch with drinks. What a great experience. Do not hesitate to join one of his tours!

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.
