Discover Athens through its vegetarian side — a flavorful journey through the city’s hidden food corners, lively markets, and timeless traditions. From warm sesame koulouri and olive-oil-rich meze to golden loukoumades, you’ll taste the heart of Greece without a single compromise on flavor.

Why it’s unique:
-100% vegetarian — but irresistible to all food lovers
- Hidden local eateries, not tourist traps
