Short Description
  • On the day of the weekly street market, the  the laid back Keramikos neighborhood comes alive in a riot of sights, smells and flavors.
  • After coffee and fresh pastries we will drop by neighborhood stalwarts, from an old bakery that sells bougatsa – a type of savory phyllo pastry – to a hole in the wall serving superb  Cretan dishes rarely found on the mainland. We’ll also stop by a cozy food shop that procures artisanal products from across Greece,  and a meze restaurant where classic Greek regional recipes are being both lovingly revived and cleverly updated. On the lively weekly open-air market we'll taste seasonal specialties. 
  • Over the tour we’ll also explore the cultural and historical legacy, visiting two of the area’s former industrial landmarks turned into vibrant arts centers and gathering spots and we’ll even stop by some still-functioning ceramics workshops, which serve as a living link to the neighborhood’s – and Athens’ – ancient history.
