Beginning on the slopes of the Acropolis, enter the sacred hill through the Propylaea, an imposing marble-gate surrounding the hill. Marvel at the magnificent and inspired construction of the Parthenon and learn about the eras of worship and destruction it has faced in stony resilience. Set your eyes upon the ethereal Erechtheion and its iconic Caryatids, the fair maidens that support the beautiful structure. With your deeply knowledgeable and passionate guide, learn about the history, legends, and myths that envelop this ancient site and enjoy breath-taking views across Athens and out to the Aegean Sea. Join us on this journey through time that will show you the very origins of democracy and political philosophy as we know it today.

Stop At: Central Market Athens, Monastiraki Greece

Next, it’s time to turn your journey through antiquity into one of gastronomy! Discover the very best of Athens’ foodie scene by tasting delights such as home-made dishes, 'koulouri', 'loukoumades' and many more local favorites.

Get to know the locals at the vibrant Athens Central Market and see the huge variety of fresh meat, fish, vegetables, and fruits on display. Discover specialist stalls, bursting with colorful and aromatic herbs, spices and condiments; meet with true artisans, who will show you how much time, dedication and love goes into producing their treasured delicacies.

There, you'll also have the opportunity to try some of the most traditional and authentically Greek dishes you could possibly find. The menu varies, but some of the most popular choices are 'gemista' -the famous oven-baked stuffed vegetables-, slow-cooked meat with a side of mashed potatoes or pasta, 'fava' -a split pea dip- and okra casserole, among others.

Let your taste buds sore as you sample cheeses from across Greece, irresistible cold cuts and perfectly prepared Greek coffee. In Greece, we know how to feed people - fresh, delicious food and plenty of it (no morsel bites here), so be sure to come hungry!
