Description
We know you want to meet other like-minded people who adore fresh, genuine flavours, and want fun and spontaneity mixed in with cultural appreciation. This activity will give you an excellent opportunity to discover hidden street food gems and create short videos and photographs to document your impressions. This is not just a food tour; it's a fun game and you are creating it!
Sample mouth-watering Greek street food whilst walking through alternative neighborhoods hipped with graffiti art, old local businesses and trendy spots where the Athenians socialise. Amongst others, you will taste delicious cheese pie from a bakery that has operated downtown since 1977, some exquisite regional honey, and souvlaki as it's wrapped only for the locals. You will end this culinary city exploration with a unique Greek ice cream whose gastronomical tradition is rooted deep in Asia Minor.
Feel the true Athenian vibe as we leave the tourist groups behind; expand your understanding of Greek food as we discuss the history of the flavours; get to know other fellow foodies as you work together on your mini promo video. Do you like Greek street food after all?
