Embark on a culinary journey through the heart of Athens, beginning at Syntagma Square. Start by savoring authentic old-style pies and pastries from a traditional bakery, setting the stage for your gastronomic adventure. As you make your way to the bustling “Varvakeios” food market, immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere where locals gather to procure a diverse array of fresh Mediterranean produce, including meats, fish, vegetables, and fruits – the essence of Greek cuisine.

Treat your taste buds to the well-known “koulouri” – a sesame pastry – and complete your local food tour with a delightful finale: Greek donuts, or “loukoumades,” drizzled with organic honey and sprinkled with nuts. Meander through the narrow streets of Plaka and Anafiotika, the old town of Athens, concluding your culinary odyssey with a cup of traditional Greek coffee at a local café, paired with the classic “loukoumi” – a sweet delight.
