Evening Neighborhood Food Walk, Athens

Your authentic Athenian evening begins when you meet your local guide and the rest of your small group in Monastiraki Square. As the sun sets and the city lights up, you'll stroll through the charming streets of Psyri, Monastiraki, and Plaka, stopping along the way to taste local specialties at some of the neighborhood's best family-run shops and hidden culinary gems. Your guide, a captivating storyteller, will share the rich history and stories behind each dish, making the experience both educational and enjoyable.

Highlights include a break for a traditional Greek coffee or a refreshing iced espresso freddo, and a stop to snack on meze platters filled with distinctive Greek cold cuts and cheeses. Your guide will also introduce you to the world of Greek honey, allowing you to taste several varieties, including some rare ones. Seek out the city's best souvlaki, and wrap things up with some sweet loukoumades (fluffy Greek doughnuts). You'll end in a local bar, where you can chat with your guide and fellow travelers as you toast the evening with a tasting of three traditional liqueurs.
