Stop At: Kotzia Square, 63A Athinas St, Athens Greece

You’ll meet your local guide and begin this Athens tour by exploring Kotzia Square, located in the heart of Athens. The square is surrounded by gorgeous neoclassical buildings, which were constructed in the early 18th century, and also some ancient ruins of old houses that you will have a peek at on your way to the market.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Central Market, Athinas 42, Athens 999-20 Greece

Your local guide will show you around the best of the Central Market, taking you to places few tourists venture and helping you discover a variety of delicious Greek specialties. From the simple koulouri (a round-shaped bread with sesame seeds) and delicate local pastries, to the Greek staples of feta and olives, the Central Market is a feast for the senses.

Duration: 50 minutes

Stop At: Agia Irini Church, 36 Aiolou Street, Athens Greece

We also try either an invigorating Greek coffee (in the winter) or a cold frappe in warmer days, which are popular local beverages. Athens food is a rich mix of old and new, traditional and modern, and this tour is the perfect way to discover all these aspects.

Duration: 40 minutes

Stop At: Athens Street, Athens Greece

Next on this culinary tour of Athens, we drop by a Greek deli that sells traditional produce and is a popular shopping place for locals. Here you can chat to the shop owner and ask him about all of his produce — and taste some of course! This spot sells the best seasonal food available, perfect for a picnic in the city if you’d like to return another time during your stay in Athens.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Monastiraki Square, Apollonos 21, Athina 105 57, Greece

Finally on this Athens tour, you’ll make your way to Monastiraki Square where your adventure will end. Your guide will be happy to recommend other places to see in this ancient city and where some of the best local restaurants are located, if you can stomach even more Greek deliciousness!
