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.

Vegetarian friendly

Julia was wonderful host for our food tour! She showed us places that we would have never found ourselves, all while being an gregarious and knowledgeable guide. The lunch that we had with her was our favorite of the trip and we left feeling so full and satisfied. She was even able to very kindly accommodate me, a vegetarian, though this tour will suit the meat-eaters very well also. I recommend this experience to anyone visiting Athens!

Immerse in the local culture

I recently had the pleasure of going on this walking food tour in Athens, Greece and it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, the tour was filled with informative and educational aspects that truly enhanced my understanding and appreciation for the local food scene. Our guide was an amazing host who not only introduced us to various culinary delights but also shared valuable insights about the local spices and the sourcing of ingredients. It was fascinating to learn about the origins of the food we were trying and how it is deeply rooted in Greek culture. This knowledge truly deepened my understanding and allowed me to appreciate the flavors of the local food even more. In addition to the food, we also got to enjoy the bonus of seeing some amazing sites along the way. The tour took us through charming neighborhoods and historical landmarks, providing a well-rounded and immersive experience. By the end of the tour, I was pleasantly full and completely satisfied with the variety and quality of the food we had sampled. The highlight, however, was the ending lunch overlooking the iconic Acropolis. The combination of the breathtaking view and the delicious meal made for an unforgettable finale to the tour. I highly recommend this walking food tour to anyone who wants to fully immerse themselves in the local culture and gain a deeper appreciation for Athens. The tour not only offers an array of delectable food but also provides valuable insights and knowledge about the city's culinary traditions. With an amazing host leading the way, you are guaranteed to have an incredible experience. Overall, this walking food tour in Athens was a highlight of my trip and I am grateful for the opportunity to learn, explore, and indulge in the flavors of Greece.
