What you can expect

Step off the beaten path and immerse yourself in the authentic flavors of Athens on our alternative food tour, away from the tourist sights. Starting at the iconic Kallimarmaro Olympic Stadium, we'll guide you away to the hidden gem of Pagrati, just a stone's throw from the bustling city center but worlds apart in ambiance.

In Pagrati, you'll experience the everyday life of Athenians, from locals walking their dogs to parents escorting their children to school, all against the backdrop of vibrant street art and traditional Athenian architecture. Our tour highlights the neighborhood's charm, offering glimpses into local life rarely seen by tourists.

Indulge in a culinary journey that showcases the best of Greek cuisine, from sipping on refreshing Greek iced coffee or traditional Greek coffee at a cozy local café to savoring puff pastries with cheese and honey. Try the rich flavors of dried figs, raisins, and pistachios at a quaint nut shop, followed by a visit to a neighborhood bakery for a taste of freshly baked spanakopita - spinach, and feta pie.

Next, we'll gather at a charming taverna nestled under berry trees in a picturesque local square, where you'll dine family-style on homemade dishes inspired by Greek grandmothers. Indulge on delicious classics like moussaka, pastichio, stuffed peppers, and zucchini balls, accompanied by feta cheese dips and meatballs in lemon broth.

As the evening unfolds, we'll venture to a cozy bar for a tasting of two sweet digestive liqueurs, offering a delightful end to your culinary adventure. Finally, satisfy your sweet tooth with desserts from a pastry shop specializing in baklava and other traditional Greek sweets.

Escape the tourist traps and join us for a food tour that promises to unveil the true essence of Athens' culinary scene.
