Athens Food Tour

To discover the flavours, aromas and delicious taste of Attica’s gastronomy, all you need to do is take a walk around the neighbourhoods of Athens city centre. But if you want to truly immerse yourselves into the secrets of local culinary culture, learn about the evolution of Greek gastronomy through the centuries, and savour the world-recognised as one of the healthiest diets in the world, a delightful culinary tour in Athens by a professional tour guide will thrill you!

Flavours tell stories; they narrate the history of a place. Companies that offer food walking tours offer a comprehensive “journey” into the authentic flavours of Greek products and the fascinating history of Athens, the city life, its past and present.

The small group of flavour “explorers” meets in the centre of Athens, where the food-specialised, experienced tour guide hands them a map with the walking tour routes and stops, and gives an overview of Athenians’ eating habits. The walk begins, revealing some of the city’s hidden treasures on the way, streets and districts that are off the beaten path.

At the traditional family-run delicatessen you will discover and sample the best local products, such as extra virgin olive oil and olives, feta cheese and excellent wines, oregano, cured meats, honey and spoon sweets. Here you will learn more about the Mediterranean Diet and its extraordinary health benefits.
