Description
The tour in Athens is not only about the historical monuments and sights, but also about the traditional Greek flavors. After all, the Mediterranean cuisine is one of the most well-known and beloved, while Greece is famous for its delicious and healthy Greek food that cannot be found anywhere else. Our food tour begins with a tour of the city center, specifically the famous Varvakeio Municipal Market (Fish Market) of Athens.
It is the most popular market in the city that extends around Athena, Sophokleous, Aiolos and Euripidou streets and which has a history of about 150 years in the heart of Athens. There one can find all kinds of fresh fish, meat, agricultural products and many restaurants. Each stall has its own suppliers and its own clientele. The market has a lot of traffic every day, but during festive periods it is literally packed with people. Our tour of the market is done uniquely, as the tour guide informs us about its history throughout the whole experience of the place.
Well-known Greek dishes are the Greek appetizers that accompany the drink (usually raki, ouzo, wine or tsipouro) at any time of the day and which we will have the opportunity to try. Greek mezes are various types of small meals such as cheese croquettes, small portions of meat or the famous dolmades. In addition, in the center of Athens we find places that offer delicious traditionally made cheese pies as well as “homemade” loukoumades (small fried donuts) with an impressive taste.
