Itinerary
Begin your morning with the delightful tastes of traditional Greek pies. Meet at Syntagma Square, where you'll be introduced to a variety of pies, including the beloved spanakopita, filled with spinach and feta cheese. This will be a perfect start to your day, giving you a taste of the local breakfast fare.
Just a short walk from the pie shop, we'll visit a local deli known for its wide selection of Greek cheeses and creamy Greek yogurt. Here, you'll learn about the cheese-making process in Greece and taste different types of feta, along with other regional cheeses, accompanied by rich, authentic Greek yogurt.
As we make our way to the vibrant Monastiraki area, prepare your palate for an assortment of pastourma and traditional Greek cold cuts. You'll experience the robust flavors and spices that make these meats a staple in Greek cuisine.
No Greek food tour would be complete without olives. We'll stop at a specialty shop where you'll taste different varieties of Greek olives, each with its unique flavor profile, ranging from the famous Kalamata to the lesser-known but equally delicious local varieties.
Next, we'll indulge in Greece's sweet side with a visit to a local eatery for some loukoumades. These honey-soaked doughnuts are a Greek favorite and will provide a delightful contrast to the savory tastes of the morning.
Before heading to your next food stop, we'll dive into the bustling atmosphere of the Athens Central Market. Here, you'll witness the lively trade of fresh produce, meats, and fish, and get a sense of the daily life of Athenian shoppers and traders.
For lunch, we'll enjoy homemade Greek recipes at a traditional eatery. Savor a selection of dishes prepared with fresh, local ingredients, giving you a true taste of Greek home cooking.
To conclude our tour, we'll stroll to the bohemian neighborhood of Psiri. Here, we'll relax in a cozy café and enjoy typical Greek desserts that perfectly accompany the famous Greek coffee. It's a sweet and aromatic end to your morning food adventure in Athens. With hearts full and appetites satisfied, our Athens Morning Food Tour comes to a close. You'll leave with a deeper appreciation for Greek cuisine and memories of a delightful morning spent exploring Athens through its flavors.

Thespeena was amazing! She did such a great job sharing her knowledge of local culture and cuisine throughout the tour. The food was authentic and so tasty. Best way to get an overview of the city.
Stopped at 6 establishments and tried various food items at each. The places were not tourist focused. Felt like seeing a part of native Greece. Great stories and conversation made for an enlightening and enjoyable time.
This was excellent! Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She also recommended other restaurants as we did the tour, and it was a good introduction to Greek food and to Athens.
Excellent outing - well worth it
Definitely the way to get up close with Athens city, very informative with a great selection of foods and drink to try. Very enjoyable
We did this tour on our first day in Greece and what an amazing experience it was! Our guide Sapfo was awesome! She’s friendly, kind as ver knowledgeable. She took us to places we may have missed on our own but were still able to find afterwards. We were stuffed by the middle of the tour but we really felt like we experienced Greek food. We sampled so many things that we were able to eat throughout our vacation. Thank you Sapfo! I’m so glad you were our guide. I’ll miss Greece but I plan to take as many foods with me as I can! This experience exceeded our expectations!
It was a fabulous tour with great food! Our guide, Debi, was great and very knowledgable. We went to several really neat places with delicious local food! Make sure and go hungry!! Sooo much good food!!
My guide Elias was terrific! He shared some history of Athens and Greece while walking to the various food venues and the market. The variety and quality of the food was outstanding. I loved seeing the various interesting neighborhoods. Great experience!!!
I booked and then they canceled on me I have yet to receive a refund Why would they let me book and then tell me they were full and I was canceled and then continue to send me emails to attend and then ask me to review trip they told me not to attend?!
The group was a good size, less than 10 people. The tour was 4 hours; we walked at a suitable pace, with many stops to hear and taste. I started the tour without breakfast at 10 am, and I was more than full by the end. We tasted pasties, cheese, sausages, ham, had a good lunch, and tasty cakes for dessert. Mini is an excellent host, very knowledgeable and friendly. We got a lot of information about Greek culture, traditions, history and of course about the food. She gave us some good tips on what to do in Athens and nearby. For me, it is very important to have a native host. Mini told us about her family traditions through the generations. I suggest the Greeking.me organised food tour for all Athens visitors.
This was one of the best tours I have taken. The young lady was very knowledgeable about the city and had good stories about the different places we stopped at. There was a lot of food to try.
So much wonderful food and fun, knowledgeable guide, Alina. Each and every taste was great and I tried items I might not have otherwise. Highly recommend!
Alina was wonderful! Knowledgeable & friendly with lots of information of the food and culture. Highly recommend
Really wonderful experience. Eleni was knowledgeable and the food was delicious. We did go to places we never would have found on our own and we loved the extensiveness of this tour. We also learned a lot about Athens and Greece. We appreciated her knowledge and upbeat personality. It was such a pleasant experience. We also appreciated that there was no pressure to buy anything and this was not a commercial tour. The restaurant staff and shop keepers were just friendly and welcoming not trying to sell (we have been on other tours that were hard sells and did not like that). However, if we had wanted to buy something, like honey or olives, we could have --to take home. Great tour, highly recommend.
Great tour! Niki was extremely knowledgable about Greece's food treasures and presented them in a fun and engaging way. She provided history and context for each of the food venues and we came away with a new appreciation for the foods and their important roles in the culture and health of the Greek communities. This was so much more than "taste-testing!" We'd take this tour again--there is so much to learn and everything was delicious.
Niki is an incredible guide! We loved this food tour ! She is extremely knowledgeable about the food we tried with lots of history thrown in! Everything was delicious and a great variety of food!
Great way to see Central Athens on foot, taste great food and see where the locals shop. Our guide Niki was very friendly and knowledgeable and made our first day in Athens very memorable. I highly recommend this tour.
Eugenie was an amazing & informative guide. We absolutely loved our walk & tasting all of the greek dishes. Highly recommend
Also learned about history of food. Lots of food and drinks offered. Gari our guide was awesome. Never felt rushed.
This was such a great tour. Very casual and laid back. We stopped so many unique places. Athens is filled with food shops that have been run by locals for generations and the tour highlights some of these places. We would have never found these on our own. This is great for all ages.
Loved the walking tour. Eugenia was lovely. Very knowledgeable and learnt about the culture and history of Athens and the area as well. Food was excellent. Highly recommend this tour.
Lots of stops with great food. Tried some new things and explored a hip area. Lots of food, we had to push dinner back lol
This food tour was awesome! We tried several different local foods and the neighborhoods we visited were authentic and awesome. Our guide Gari, was extremely knowledgeable, polite and personable.
This was an incredible tour! Georgina was an amazing guide and was very attentive and knowledgeable. She provided a lot of context and history behind the dishes we ate and was gracious enough to answer all of our questions. I would highly recommend this tour!
Amazing. Our guide Eleni was great. Informative, great sense of humor, warm personality. The variety of foods was great. The lunch was very very good. A wide selection of meats, vegetables.
Truly excellent experience with Gari. She was knowledgeable about food and the history of Athens. I truly appreciated the entire experience and she gave great recommendations and included everyone very well. Terrific experience.
We had a wonderful time on this tour and highly recommend! All Tastings were delicious and our guide was very engaging and knowledgeable about Greek food and overall culture. It was so fun to eat with a local!
Nafsika provided the perfect blend of food and food history as we walked through Athens. Highly recommend this tour.
Outstanding food tasting tour. We were able to taste a variety of Greek specialties which provided a window into Greek cuisine. Our guide Gari was polite, humble and very informative.
This was a great food tour with good variety. Be sure to come on an empty stomach! Each food stop was delicious. With our already full bellies from previous tastings, we were told that we would still be stopping for lunch!! What? More food?!?! And any uneaten leftover food was packed up to be given to those in the homeless community. Nafsi was a wonderful guide. She was warm and personable, and even educated us on coffee ground readings.
Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about the area and food varieties! Everything was prepared before we got there so we didn't have to wait on anything. The food was delicious and the history of the area was interesting. Do not eat before you go! There's is so much food that we couldn't eat it all!
Excellent food tour, guide was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Easy paced tour around eat streets and fresh produce markets.
First of all, our tour guide was amazing…. Total knowledge of local foods… She treated us to an outstanding progression of foods…. I would highly recommend her to others…
This was an amazing find! We enjoyed our experience so much! Geri was a fantastic tour guide. She had amazing knowledge and a great sense of humor. She was very caring and made sure everyone had what they needed and felt comfortable. This was a great way to learn about Athens! She also gave great local recommendations. We highly recommend this tour. It was great value for the cost.
Our guide was excellent. She was vey engaging and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the wide variety of food choices.
Our guide, Niki, was very nice and told us a lot about the food. The food was incredible and there was a lot of it. The stop at the market was very memorable.
This was an excellent tour. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Our guide, Niki, was very knowledgeable and friendly. We learnt a lot from her about the food culture as well as the food itself. Good range of places visited. Totally stuffed by the end.
Easy to find the guide, very friendly and very nice crowd of people. The tour was amazing and the food was always delicious. Harry’s homemade pies was our first stop. Cutest little restaurant you’ll ever find and Harry and his wife were fabulous. Toured the meat and fish market, which was amazing to see. Have never seen anything like it and the restaurant inside the market was again very delicious. Lots of food to try! Would highly encourage everyone to do this!!
Our guide was amazing and taught us so much about the food in Greece. Make sure you go hungry because there are a lot of delicious tastings.
It really does take about 3 to 4 hours for this tour this numerous stops, all very different and unique and in their own way, you sampled a lot of different kinds of food plenty of time to sit down and relax the walk-through the market was absolutely fascinating to see all the meats and the fish wholesale Finishing up. The pastries was an eye-opener. Gina was very personable very sweet, engaged everybody and never seem to rush anybody highly recommend this tour we had a blast and we had a great group of people as well. We have people from Germany, Scotland, Australia, and yet we only had nine so it was so much fun
Nikki did a fantastic job explaining the culture and Greek food to us. We had delicious food and more than enough. This was an excellent tour. Highly recommend it.
Niki our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, informative, and affable. I have been on many food tours and this one supplied more food than any of the others. Niki was born here and supplies an understanding of Greece’s food. Would definitely recommend this tour.
We had so much fun on this tour. Penelope was a great tour guide. We learned the history of what we were eating as well as seeing a lot of the city we would not have normally seen. There was so much food to try; cheeses, meats, olives, wine, gyros, tzatziki, bougatsa, lukumades as so much more. I highly recommend
Eugenia was lovely, showing us around the plaka neighborhood with lots of interesting foods. Very glad we purchased this tour!
Rita was a good guide but there were times when I felt there was too much information to absorb and there was certainly enough food.
Demitri was an excellent guide. The food selection was varied and good quality. The lunch itself might have been improved with a bit of meat, overall there was way more than enough food.
Niki, our tour guide; was amazing, knowledgeable about food and the city of Athens. Our tour included a wide variety of local food and beverage. We had a fun time..
Knowledgeable and friendly guide! A variety of stops to try many different dishes, meats, cheeses, sweets, coffee and wine. Great introduction to Greek cuisine- would highly recommend.
Our guide, Ismene, was fabulous. We had a 4 hour Athens foodie tour which took us to 7 different stops around Athens. We learned much about the food, culture, as well as important sights/landmarks along the route. Definitely recommend this company and experience.
