Description of The Private Food Tour of Athens

Athens is a city with an ancient history and much to offer in the way of food and wine. A private food tour is a great way to experience everything the city has to offer. You’ll get to try traditional dishes such as koulouria (sesame bread) and loukoumades (mini-donuts), learn about the wine-making process, and hear stories about the culture and history of Athens.

The best part is that you’ll get all of this personalized attention from your guide, who will make sure that you have a great time.

We will start the tour in a central location of the city, and whichever is more comfortable for you, since the experience is totally personalized.

It will be a guided tour of 4 hours, in which you will visit the Athens Central Market to see typical ingredients, explore Agora, check traditional taverns and family-owned restaurants, taste authentic and delicious dishes, and hear stories about Greece and its food traditions.

Agora is an archeological site and marketplace located in the heart of Athens. Dating back to the 5th century BC, it is one of the world’s oldest open-air markets. The Agora saw many historical events take place, such as the trial of Socrates and the speech by Pericles that marked the beginning of the Peloponnesian War.

Other important features in the inner city include the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, an amphitheatre built in 161 AD, and the Ancient Theatre of Dionysus, one of the oldest theatres in Greece, which dates back to the late-6th century BC.

Today, tourists can visit the Agora to see its well-preserved ruins and get a sense for what ancient Athenian life was like.
