Gourmet Food Walking Tour in Athens
Varvakeios, the Central Municipal Athens Market, is one of the most famous markets in Athens and offers fresh fruits and vegetables from local produce.
Traditionally brewed Greek coffee during a stop at Mokka, a traditional Greek coffee shop on Athinas street in central Athens.
Legends say Loukoumades were offered to the winners of the first Olympic Games, and at Krinos the typical Greek street food is still prepared in a traditional way with honey syrup and cinnamon.

Best tour with Panos
Emily_A
, Jun 2022
Panos was an amazing tour guide who showed us all the best foods in Athens. He was informative and told us lots about the history of food and the city. He even told us the best pistachio ice cream in Athens. We had a great time and would definitely recommend!

Family of seven - one with allergies and others a little picky (ahem, me) - and we are still talking about this tour. Eirini (hope I spelled her name correctly) was awesome! She showed us some unique and pretty parts of Athens we would not have explored on our own. She was so knowledgeable about the area, the people and the foods we were trying, not to mention attentive to us and our group's individual needs. As for the food itself - wow! Nostamo/delicious! Highly recommend!

Amazing Tour

Anna was such an amazing tour guide. We learned so much from her, and she took us to different places that we would have never gone by ourselves. She was well versed in her Greek foods, and we enjoyed every single second of it. We did a private tour which was better because we were able to get to know Anna and ask her any questions we had. At the end of the tour she even gave us recommendations of other places to go. We were able to try a variety of foods, some wine, and olive oil. Walking through the meat and fish market was definitely interesting as well. Anna was so sweet - we definitely recommend this tour!

The tour and Anabelia are both top notch and highly recommended!
Rebecca_T
, Jun 2022
Our tour guide, Anabelia, was phenomenal! Her kindness, knowledge, enthusiasm, and bubbly personality just added to the lovely experience our foodie family of six had. The tour started at Monastiraki Square, with Anabelia easy to find and waiting for our arrival. This 4+ hours walking tour (private option) is a great introduction to the sights, sounds, and tastes of Athens. Make sure to come hungry because the tastings seem endless - from coffee and sweets, to traditional Greek pastries and eats, to a sit-down meal at a hidden gem in the heart Athens, and lastly an exclusive experience at a nearby hotel! Anabelia even went above and beyond to assist us and made sure we had safe transport back to the port, in time for departure. Follow up correspondence was done and she also sent a list of other spots to try out. The tour itself is 5/5* but Anabelia gets 6/5*!! We all loved her and can’t wait to go back. If you’re on the fence, book now before it’s too late! You will definitely get your moneys worth. We highly recommend!

This was a nice walking tour around some of the more popular areas of Athens and some less known places. Irene was a great host and had lots of knowledge of the history of Greece/Athens and the food. Although we didn’t eat breakfast (as suggested) and were famished at the beginning of the tour, our appetites were satiated after the first two stops. This made for a more enjoyable walk around the city to the next vendor. If you’re not completely full before the end of the tour, the last stop will definitely rectify that. (Assuming all guides follow similar courses). We were a party of six which was perfect. Any larger of a group and it would be awkward trying to accommodate seating at some locations or be close enough to the guide to hear what they are saying during the walks.

Our guide Panos was the best! This was a great tour. We were able to sample lots of local specialties, visit the meat and seafood market, taste fresh olives at the fresh farmers market and see some “off the beaten path” side streets. One stop was a wonderful wine and food tasting experience. Panos was personable and informative. We had a great time!
