Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens

1.Greek Food Walking Tour in Athens

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,740 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $87Our pick

Start in Monastiraki with a local food leader, then walk through Aiolou Street, Varvakios Agora, Psyrri, and Athens’ spice quarter. Six stops bring 12 tastings, from koulouri and Greek coffee to mezedes, souvlaki, wine, tsipouro, and loukoumades. Guides such as Ana, Adele, Tonia, and Maria add history and practical food tips.

“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!”
