Athens is a city full of magical contrast and strong culture and we would love to introduce you to this whilst we offer you traditional Greek breakfast foods.

We will start our journey right in the centre of non touristic Athens in the fascinating, alternative area of Athinas Street where you will be surrounded by the sounds, sights and smells of the local food markets. These include meat, fish, spices and fruits and vegetables.

Whilst you enjoy Greek yoghurt, Greek coffee, Koulouri, Spanakopita and more we will introduce you to the markets and the local traders who work there. You will learn about the culture of Greek coffee and visit the oldest coffee shop in Athens where they still make it the traditional way - do you know how that is?

We will also show you the best places to shop for spices, olives and other Greek delicacies at local prices.

Book our early tour and leave the rest of the day free to explore Athens and visit the tavernas we recommend to you during the tour!
