Some travelers come to Athens for the history. Others come for the food. The smartest visitors come for both—and the Morning Food & Drinks Tour from Eating Europe delivers exactly that.
What This Tour Offers
This 2.5-hour walking tour blends Athens' rich culinary heritage with its vibrant modern culture. You will start near the Acropolis and visit some of the city’s most authentic food spots.
Typical tastings include:
- Handmade phyllo pies
- Greek donuts with honey
- The city’s best gyro wraps
- Authentic Greek yogurt
- Greek charcuterie board featuring local cheeses and cured meats
Why Take a Morning Food Tour
Morning is ideal for exploring Athens:
- Streets are quieter
- Air is cooler
- Food is at its freshest
Bakeries pull their first batches of bread and pastries from the oven, and markets are bustling with locals.
A morning tour also leaves your afternoon free for sightseeing. After 10–12 tastings, you will be ready to climb the Acropolis or explore the Acropolis Museum.
