Tour snapshot
On this Athens food and wine tour, you are introduced to Greek cuisine, local wines, and our culinary traditions that date back to ancient times and have influenced not only European cuisine but also many others! Don’t expect to visit highly ranked shops, but rather lesser-known traditional vendors who show you why Greek cuisine is the most delicious in the world. Taste the best authentic local gastronomy, including feta, olives, olive oil, local tapas, and three different wines and spirits like ouzo on a food tour that is more than enough to skip lunch!
