Overview

Step into the heart of Athens and explore Koukaki, one of the city’s most charming and authentic neighborhoods – not as a tourist, but as a local. This isn’t just a food tour; it’s a walk through my own story. I was born and raised in Koukaki, and I still call it home. Through this experience, I’ll show you what life is really like here – past the guidebooks and into the real, everyday rhythms of the city.
We’ll sip wine the way locals do, and pop into beloved family-run eateries, bakeries, and delis that have stood the test of time. You’ll taste local favorites, hear the stories behind the recipes, and meet the people who make this neighborhood so special.
Koukaki sits just under the Acropolis, yet it remains a true local hub – full of character, creativity, and community spirit. As we walk, I’ll share personal anecdotes, hidden gems, and the lesser-known history of the area, giving you a deeper understanding of Athens’ local culture – all while we snack, sip, and stroll.
