Overview

This is a food tour where we stroll through some non-touristic parts of Athens, exploring the rich culinary history that has influenced our culture and traditions. Our journey begins at Panepistimio metro station, Korai square, where we encounter a traditional kiosk for Koulouri, considered to be the Greek to go breakfast.

At each stop, I will share the background story of the product or meal, highlighting its significant role in our cuisine throughout history. Along the way, you can expect interesting and amusing anecdotes that add to the experience.

One of the highlights of the tour includes visiting the first pastry shop in town, established after Greek independence. Here, we will have the pleasure of tasting the traditional Greek style doughnuts.

Beautiful and enlightening experience.

She was genuinely amazing. So kind, so cool, so smart, so beautiful, took us to some of the coolest spots and hidden gems I’ve seen on the trip. A tour that was fun without being exhausting in the heat. It is her passion and she’s so good at it. Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience!!

Our family had a wonderful time on this tour - kids (14 and 18) say it was a highlight of the entire trip! Anna and George were wonderful hosts and tour guides, weaving together history of cuisine with history of the country. We tasted meats, seafood, olives, honey, doughnuts, pies and tea - a very tasty, educational and all around wonderful experience. To our delight, our family of 4 was joined for the tour by two locals living in Athens. Communication from the hosts was excellent. Really, can't say enough good things about this tour - 10/10 recommend!!

Tasting local eats with Anna

Anna was such a lovely host to my family on our street food tour. She gave some history of Athens, as well as taking us to many local eats that her and her family have eaten for many years. The food we ate while in the tour was delicious! We had a great variety of sweet and savory foods. We visited a spice shop, the Municipal Market, Olive tasting, and many restaurants. This tour was full of hidden gems we would have never visited on our own! She also gave us great recommendations of places to try on our own time.

Don't miss this while you are in Athens!

I brought my 18-year old daughter and her friend on this amazing experience. I cannot recommend it enough. Our co-guides were so kind and also wonderfully informative.

A must do if you want to discover the real Athens

We absolutely loved this walking tour. We visited so many places that we would never have tackled on our own. Anna is a local and loves the city

Perfect and unique gastronomy tour

We wanted to thank Ana for giving us such a beautiful tour of Greek culinary and gastronomy. It helped us understand even more the beauty of the country's culture. We had a wonderful time! I wish all tourists could experience this quality of service. You’re amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you
