We recently had the pleasure of participating in the Ultimate Food Tasting Tour of Athens, Greece. This small-group, half-day tour took us on a culinary journey through the heart of the city, allowing us to sample a variety of delicious Greek dishes while also learning about the rich history and culture of Athens.
The tour began at Monastiraki Square, where we met our knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. Our group consisted of 12 travelers, which provided an intimate and personalized experience. Throughout the tour, we visited various eateries and tasted a wide range of Greek dishes, such as spanakopita, koulouri, and moussakka. We also stopped at the central market, where we discovered local ingredients like olives, cheese, and cured meats.
One of the highlights of the tour was the opportunity to taste lesser-known Greek dishes, such as bougatsa, a sweet pie filled with custard cream, and meze, the Greek version of tapas. We also indulged in delectable desserts like Greek coffee and loukoumades, honey-drizzled donuts sprinkled with cinnamon.
As we walked through the city center, our guide pointed out iconic landmarks and shared fascinating stories about the history of Athens. This unique combination of culinary exploration and sightseeing made the tour both educational and enjoyable.
The Ultimate Food Tasting Tour of Athens provided a comprehensive overview of Greek cuisine while also allowing us to see some of the city’s most famous landmarks. The diverse food samples, engaging guide, and small group size made this tour a truly memorable experience for us as a couple.
In conclusion, we highly recommend the Ultimate Food Tasting Tour of Athens for those looking to explore the rich flavors of Greek cuisine while discovering the history and culture of this beautiful city. This tour offers a perfect blend of food, history, and sightseeing, making it an unforgettable experience for all who participate.
