Overview
Discover the flavors, traditions, and hidden stories of Athens on this hands-on culinary adventure.
Start with a Greek coffee demonstration, where you’ll learn century-old brewing techniques, taste the rich result, and even practice the art of fortune-telling from your own cup.
Continue your journey by sampling both sweet and savory pies made with delicate phyllo and creamy bougatsa dough before rolling up your sleeves to make your own Gyros or Souvlaki, and enjoy every delicious bite.
Indulge in a Greek charcuterie board featuring three regional cheeses and local cured meats, then try the original “cheesecake,” an ancient Greek delicacy of fresh bread, cheese, and honey. Satisfy your sweet tooth with legendary Greek donuts from one of the last bakeries that still makes them traditionally.
As you walk through the contrasting neighborhoods of historic Monastiraki and vibrant Psiri, you’ll feel the heartbeat of the city, its past, its creativity, and its community.
Along the way, meet members of a local NGO and learn about the impactful work they do to support people in need.
A perfect blend of flavor, culture, and connection, this tour invites you to experience Athens through its food, its neighborhoods, and its people.
Please note: Itinerary and tastings may vary based on the season, day of the week, departure time, individual closings or local holidays.
