- Short Description
- This tour will begin with a fresh-baked koulouri, before exploring the nearby weekly flea market. There will be a good Greek coffee and breakfast’s second course: thick strained yogurt with honey and nuts alongside hosaf. As our Sunday stroll continues through the streets of Plaka, we’ll walk past buildings and monuments representing the depth of Athenian history, from the ancient Agora and the Stoa of Attalos, to one of Athens’ oldest functioning churches, where students still go to get a blessing before exams.
- We’ll wend our way through Thissio and Petralona, where we will make our first lunch stop, sitting down for a meal of unforgettable grilled lamb chops andfries in a family-run local institution.
- Our final stop will be in nearby Psyri, where we’ll join the locals who are eating out with their extended families. There we’ll enjoy Greek comfort food like dolmades, soutzoukakia and the season’s best horta among Athenian families and friends – a fitting end to our moveable feast.
