“Loved the tour, our guide, and the other family who joined us! We walked through a vibrant local market and sampled a wonderful variety of treats—freshly baked filo pastries, Greek coffee with Turkish delight, different kinds of honey—and then sat down to a table full of authentic Greek dishes. My favorite was the anchovies in olive oil: incredibly fresh and flavorful. Just when I thought I couldn’t eat another bite, our guide led us to try gyros and finish with loukoumadakia for dessert. My only advice: come with an empty stomach and an open mind!”
