Why take this tour?

In the shadow of the Acropolis, past classic temples, Roman monuments, Byzantine churches and through the small streets of the Plaka, our professional food guide combines a wonderful walk through the vibrant heart of the old city with regular stops to sample, experience, and learn about the many local tastes & traditions that form a link to the past & also comprise many of the current pleasures, habits and influences of modern daily life in Greece. Meet the locals who have worked for generations in the fish, meat & spice markets, delicatessens & 'Zaccharoplastia' (shops dedicated to sweets of all kinds), with stories to pass down. Taste the myriad varieties of local cheeses, olives, olive oils, cold cuts & accompaniments & discover the embarrassment of riches at the disposal of the Greek pallet. Exclusive to your group alone, with a sumptuous lunch & all tastings included, this private tour will greatly enrich your experience and discovery of Greece.
