Taste your way through the oldest food market in Athens with a passionate local.
About This Tour
Food is the fastest way into a culture, and Athens has one of the most vibrant food scenes in the Mediterranean. On this tour, we dive into the legendary Athens Central Market (Varvakios Agora), sample street food, visit a traditional bakery, a cheese shop, and a hidden taverna that has been feeding the neighbourhood for four generations.

Traveler Reviews
Absolutely the highlight of our trip to Greece. Artemis brought the ancient city to life in a way no guidebook ever could. We laughed, we learned, and we ate extraordinarily well.
