What you can expect

Step off the beaten track and immerse yourself in the authentic flavours of Athens on this alternative guided food tour, away from the tourist sights. Starting at the iconic Kallimarmaro Olympic Stadium, make your away to the hidden gem of Pagrati, just a stone's throw from the bustling city centre but worlds apart in ambiance.

In Pagrati, experience the everyday life of Athenians, from locals walking their dogs to parents escorting their children to school, all against the backdrop of vibrant street art and traditional Athenian architecture. This tour highlights the neighborhood's charm, offering glimpses into local life rarely seen by tourists.

Indulge in a culinary journey that showcases the best of Greek cuisine, from sipping on refreshing Greek iced coffee or traditional Greek coffee at a cosy local café to savouring puff pastries with cheese and honey. Try the rich flavours of dried figs, raisins, and pistachios at a quaint nut shop, followed by a visit to a area bakery for a taste of freshly baked spanakopita - spinach, and feta pie.

Next, gather at a charming taverna nestled under berry trees in a picturesque local square, where you'll dine family-style on homemade dishes inspired by Greek grandmothers. Indulge on delicious classics like moussaka, pastichio, stuffed peppers, and courgette balls, accompanied by feta cheese dips and meatballs in lemon broth.

After, venture into a cosy bar for a tasting of two sweet digestive liqueurs, offering a delightful end to your culinary adventure. Finally, satisfy your sweet tooth with desserts from a pastry shop specialising in baklava and other traditional Greek sweets.

Escape the tourist traps and join this guided food tour that promises to unveil the true essence of Athens' culinary scene.
