What you can expect

Explore Athens Markets on a guided walking tour offering a perfect mix of historical exploration and delicious local flavors, giving you an authentic experience of Athens' rich heritage and modern life.

Start your journey from Syntagma Square, where you can grab a coffee before diving into the heart of Athens. Stroll down Ermou Street, a bustling avenue lined with modern shops, before heading to the famous Varvakeios Agora, Athens’ Central Food Market. This vibrant market is a food lover’s paradise, offering an array of fresh meats, fish, cheeses, herbs, spices, and more. It’s the perfect place to experience the flavors of traditional Greek cuisine, and here, you’ll have the chance to try a Koulouri, a delicious sesame-covered bread roll from a local vendor.

Next, wander through the charming neighborhood of Plaka, with its narrow, winding streets that lead to the Ancient Agora. This iconic site was once the heart of Athenian democracy, where citizens gathered to discuss politics, philosophy, and civic matters. Nearby, you’ll also visit the Roman Agora, built during the Roman period as a new marketplace after Athens became part of the Roman Empire.

To continue your culinary exploration, you will stop by a local shop to taste a traditional Greek pie and learn about its rich history. Finish your tour with a sweet treat — choose from a variety of Greek desserts, such as koulourakia or loukoumades, and enjoy a delicious end to your Athens adventure.

This walking tour blends ancient history with modern flavors, offering a unique and memorable experience of Athens' rich heritage and vibrant food culture.
