This small-group food tour in Athens offers more than 20 tastings featuring local cheese, cured meats, fruits, sweets, spices, and traditional dishes. The tour lasts about three and a half hours and includes two sit-down meals: a souvlaki tasting with Greek yogurt and local wine, and a larger meze meal with meat, fish, vegetables, beans, and Greek yogurt with honey, accompanied by ouzo. The tour begins on Athinas Street at Ev Athinas, a small pie shop, where participants taste filo pastry pies and Greek coffee. From there, the group visits the bustling meat, fish, spice, and fruit markets, including the largest fish market in Europe, which handles over five tons of fish daily. The market walk covers around 40 minutes and shows how locals shop and prepare their food. Next, the tour moves to a local farmers market to sample seasonal fruits and vegetables. Following this, participants visit the spice market area, stopping at three shops: a honey producer, an olive and olive oil producer, and a deli. Here, guests taste honey and olive oil, learn about their qualities, and can buy souvenirs. The first sit-down tasting is souvlaki near the markets, while the final main meal is a traditional meze featuring various Greek dishes. Other stops include a family-owned honey business where different honeys are sampled and their production explained. On tours starting at 4 pm or later, markets will be closed, so the itinerary adjusts by visiting a taverna and tasting traditional food with ouzo and local wine instead. On Sundays, when markets are shut, the tour focuses on tastings at a taverna, honey, and olive oil producers. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are available except vegan on Sundays. Alcoholic beverages, lunch, and snacks are included. Private transportation is not provided.
