Overview

Michalis and Rachel welcome you to our home City, Athens. When you arrive our tour shows you where to eat and shop to experience the best fresh products Athens has to offer. Please note we do not offer food on this tour.

Are you keen to learn about how and where Athenians shop and eat but dont have the usual four hours to spend on it? Then join our 2 hour walking and shopping tour and let us introduce you to the spice, fruit, meat and fish markets and enjoy a Greek coffee made the traditional way from the oldest coffee shop in Athens!

You will have an opportunity to buy herbs, spices, olives, olive oil, natural soap products etc at local prices.

Whilst we do not eat on this tour, you will be introduced to the tavernas and bars where we, like many other Athenians, go to eat and drink! Dont waste time on touristic food when you could go to authentic, traditional places and eat the freshest food in Athens.
