The Best Street Food in Athens!

Start your food tasting tour at a pie shop that honours a culinary tradition dating back centuries. Taste the original Greek phyllo dough – which takes time and finesse to roll out –  in the “pitas”, the cornerstone of Greek cookery. Savour the traditional Greek tiropita (creamy cheese pie) or spanakopita (spinach-feta pie) that are made every day right on spot with much love and the freshest ingredients. This is Greek street food at its best!

No Greek food tour in Athens is complete without tasting the original souvlaki or gyro at a local street food joint. Chunks of pork or chicken wrapped in warm pita bread, juicy tomatoes and a dollop of tzatziki sauce made with Greek yogurt — this is a local treat made in heaven, enjoyed with a local, cold beer! And don’t fret, vegetarians, as we’ve got you covered with the nicest vegetarian kebabs you’ve ever tasted.

Food Tour Around Athens’ Shopping District

Time to take a break. Move your feet around the shopping district of Ermou str. and marvel at the magnificent wonders of the city, till you find your way to the next Greek street food specialty… It’s called peinirli – a delightful boat-shaped pizza baked with a cheesy, buttery filling and traditional cold cuts or vegetables on top.
Walk around the Commercial Triangle area, the traditional shopping district of Athens, to discover family-run businesses that are almost 100 years old! Satisfy your sweet tooth with the best Greek donuts, the loukoumades – one of the oldest desserts that date back to 776 BC when the Olympic Games started in Greece –  topped with honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon powder.

The Food Tour Visits the Streets of Psyrri

Meander the streets of colourful Psyrri — an old Athenian neighbourhood full of artistic and creative power. Enjoy the most beautiful street art in Athens, along with vintage shops, Greek designers stores, and cute cafes.
Finish your foodie day with a mouthful of scrumptious local desserts; Time to satisfy our “separate stomach” with finger-licking local desserts and a special-flavoured local product found exclusively in Greece!

Great tour to get to know greek cuisine

We took this tour on our first day in Athens and liked it a lot! It is a nice introduction to the greek lifestyle since food and going out with friends play a huge part in this city. There are so many restaurants and bars to choose from, so we were glad that our guide gave us his recommendations for a few of his favourite places. With every new venue we got a bit of background information about the kind of food we ate there and also about life in Athens in general. Very entertaining and funny!

Generous Marina

My daughter and I love cooking and eating greek food. To improve our knowledge we took the cooking class from Marina. It appeared to be much more than a cooking class. Marina gave us plenty of tips and tricks and showed an amazing hospitality. Marina, thank you very much and for your fiancé and you a very happy wedding coming Sunday.

Great tour! Highly Recommend!

This tour was great! We highly recommend! Definitely come hungry! Our guide was very friendly and was extremely knowledgeable about Athens and Greece as a whole. We learned a ton! I would recommend doing this early on in your trip. You get to see a lot of the City and great food options, which could give you an idea of where you want to go for the remainder of your trip.

Best Choice!

My husband and I participated in the afternoon street food tour and it was excellent! Being from Greece, Marina shared all of her knowledge on not only the food, but how different countries and cultures play a role in the food life here in Athens. She was a wonderful communicator, always smiling and wanting to answer whatever curious questions you have. No question was considered dumb! Thank you Marina. The food choices were delicious and the perfect fit for this tour. Thank you!!

A brilliant way to spend an evening. Marina was great and showed us the best spots for local food and a real Athens experience - even taking the time to run the tour when we were the only people booked in on a cold and quiet January evening. The food and drinks were fantastic and we discovered new parts of the city that we wouldn't have otherwise found. I'd recommend the tour for anyone looking to experience a bit of Greek culture with an informative and easy-going tour guide!

Perfect for the first night in Athens!

A perfect experience for the first night in Athens - even with our three kids! We are impressed by the vivid nightlife, the variety of urban districts we wandered around and the vast number of restaurants, bars, cafés, places to visit. Marina an her team welcomed us like friends in their city, we got an insight not only into the typical street food an its provenance, but also into the culture of Athens. We can highly recommend this tour

Come hungry

We were hungry but were fed more than just food! Marina took us on a culinary food tour and we loved all of it, including her explanations of the history of the dishes and of Athens itself. Yuuuuuuum!
