Alternative Athens: Food tours
Food is one of the key ingredients to understanding a destination. Food is inextricably linked with the soul of the people, a connection that is widely known yet often overlooked. In Greece we are lucky to have developed a food culture that many nutritionists consider highly beneficial, often using Greek cuisine as a paragon for the widely acknowledged Mediterranean diet. It has developed throughout the years, resulting in a variety of branches from fine dining to street food and all the in between. During your stay in Athens, our Greek food tours will take you by the hand and help you to explore the most famous Greek dishes in the best (and non touristic) places. Together, we visit local favourites such as bakeries, sweet shops, speciality food shops, local open-air markets, family-run delicatessens and many more. Walk, taste, smell and feel the beating heart of the city through the flavours that tantalize your taste palette and stir emotions as you get to know Greece one bite at a time.
