Overview

Our eco-friendly minivan will wait for you to set off on this “food &mood” experience.

The day will start with a typical Greek breakfast at a dairy-products patisserie that dates back to 1931. A good day begins with a Greek coffee and a fresh orange juice, so as to receive the necessary energy!

Then you will have the chance to taste the cheese and spinach pie if you are in the mood for a salty breakfast, or the custard pie (galaktoboureko), the honey dumplings (loukoumades), and the sheep milk yogurt with honey and walnuts, if you are fond of sweet tastes.

We suggest you try them both!

Our next stop is the central meat market. Many different producers offer from their kiosks all kinds of meat and poultry, as well as tips and secrets for the proper preservation and preparation of your favorite meat. We continue with a visit at the fish market where a huge variety of fresh fish and seafood from the Aegean Sea will whet your appetite. Right across the street we find the fruit and vegetable market; there you will immerse yourselves in the secrets of the Mediterranean cuisine and also have the opportunity to buy our local spices (Greek saffron is excellent), herbs (oregano, chamomile) and extra virgin olive oil (the secret of longevity). This is the biggest market of Athens, crowded, colorful and full of aromas.

It is now time for some local cheese and meze (appetizers) tasting, such as stuffed vine leaves with rice. All these accompanied by a variety of local Greek PDO wines or liquors. Join us at this experience and travel past the vineyards, the blue Aegean Sea and the tall mountain Olympus, through the flavors of our unique Santorinian, Peloponnesian and Macedonian wines (ancient Greeks worshiped the god of wine, Dionysus). The tour ends with the traditional souvlaki (pita bread, meat and tzatziki sauce). The best street food in Athens.
