Food Tours in Athens 2026
Souvlaki, mezze, and Plaka tavernas with local guides
1 tour from €59
Athens food tours move beyond the tourist menu and into the neighbourhoods locals actually eat in — the Varvakios meat market, Psyrri's mezze bars, and the family-run tavernas tucked into Plaka's side streets. Most tours run 3–4 hours, mix 6–10 tasting stops, and cover staples like souvlaki, loukoumades, ouzo, and Greek wines from small producers. Walking distance is moderate (2–4 km) and groups are kept small so the guide can introduce you to the shopkeepers personally.
