Summary

Begin your epicurean experience at Monastiraki Square, in front of the Byzantiune church in the middle of the square. Here, you’ll convene with your guide and small group, and embark on a street food tour of Athens. Awaken your palate with a cup of rich and roasted Greek coffee and a fresh koulouri, whose sweet pastry and crispy sesame seeds are sure to make your mouth water. Then, satisfy your sweet tour with loukoumades (Greek donuts) smothered in honey and cinnamon. In the Central Market, browse stalls brimming with Greek produce and then proceed to the commercial center of Athens to sample what are arguably the city’s best Greek pies, filled with feta and spinach. Your tour culminates with soup or souvlaki at an eatery favoured by locals—relish the simple, fresh flavors of Greek cuisine before you bid your guide farewell at your final location.
