Private Gourmet Food Walking Tour in Athens
Varvakeios, the Central Municipal Athens Market, is one of the most famous markets in Athens and offers fresh fruits and vegetables from local produce.
Traditionally brewed Greek coffee during a stop at Mokka, a traditional Greek coffee shop on Athinas street in central Athens.
Legends say Loukoumades were offered to the winners of the first Olympic Games, and at Krinos the typical Greek street food is still prepared in a traditional way with honey syrup and cinnamon.

Often tours are guide dependent- good guide, good tour. We had an excellent guide, but would also say the tour stands on its own. Highly recommend. Great way to learn the culture, see the city, taste the cuisine. This was truly an outstanding tour! (And guide)

We had a private tour with Irene and it was wonderful! SOOOO much food! We had like a Greek sesame bagel type thing, spinach and cheese pies, beignet like desserts, traditional sand cooked coffee, an olive oil and balsalmic vinegar and wine tasting, meat tasting, and pork and chicken gyros. Good thing I brought my backpack so I could stuff leftovers into it! Irene was very nice and informative, very friendly. We also went through the meat and fish market which was interesting to see but definitely not for the queasy or faint of heart. Overall fantastic tour and food ☺️

We were 2 couples. Annabella was our guide. She was excellent. She went out of her way to make sure everyone had what they needed. We made quite a few stops and there was a lot of food. She explains so much about the origins of the food and she took us to the fish and meat markets, we’ve never seen anything like that… It really was interesting and tasty. If we had one recommendation, it would be to separate the two heaviest food groupings, one in the beginning of the tour and the other at the end of the tour.
