Athens is known for its rich culinary scene, and it seems like there are countless food tours to choose from. With so many options, it’s tough to figure out which ones truly stand out. I’ve heard mixed reviews from friends who all tried different ones.
Has anyone participated in a food tour in Athens that they would recommend? I’m especially looking for experiences that highlight local favorites and perhaps some hidden gems away from the typical tourist spots. What dishes or guides should I be on the lookout for? What made your food tour special?
I did a food tour in Athens last year that focused on street food, and it was awesome! We tried local favorites like souvlaki and tyropita, and the guide took us to some cool spots that weren’t on the usual tourist maps. Definitely ask for a tour that includes local markets; that’s where you’ll find some real hidden gems!
I did a food tour in Athens last summer, and it was all about the street food! The guide took us to this small spot for souvlaki that locals swear by, and it was way better than the touristy places. Definitely ask for places that do homemade dishes too – I had the best moussaka at a tiny family-run place. Totally worth it!
