Explore the food markets of Athens on a 4-hour walking tour and taste some of the delicious treats on offer. Visit local stores selling the "Green Treasures" of Greece, such as olive oil, wines, mushrooms, herbs and traditionally made pastas and salamis.
Start with a traditional Greek breakfast of koulouria (sesame bread rings) in a century-old cafe, and then make your way to a tiny pastry shop to sample loukoumades (Greek donuts) and custard-filled filo squares.
Enjoy local pies and cheeses at authentic Greek bakeries and cheese stores.
