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.

Highly recommend

Our host Douk was an amazing and passionate storyteller. We tried an abundance of food walking through the back streets of Athens and every detail had connections to his family, which made the tour a little more authentic and personable. He was very attentive to any questions during the tour and looked after us very well. He was very curious about knowing us too which was nice. Highly recommend!

Go on an empty stomach

One of our favorite tours in Athens. We learned a lot about the culture and history of food specific to the region. We tasted LOTS and left very full. We loved learning about the cheeses and olive oil. Well worth your time and money! Thank you Douk!

Experience you shouldn’t miss

The tour expanded our knowledge of Greek food which set us up for success on the rest of our vacation in Greece. The food was so delicious and hearing the stories behind the food and spices was amazing. The dinner at the end was to die for! Definitely recommend this experience. The host also offered recommendations for our next stops in Greece!
