The tour started off with a tasting of traditional greek yogurt, which we later walked off in the charming area of Athens, steps away from the Acropolis. Afterwards, we walked through Plaka and tasted some more food. Next stop was Athens Central Market, where the variety of food on offer was mind-boggling and we loved watching locals shop and traders advertising their goods. We finished the tour at a traditional cafe, full of Athenians getting their daily lunch.
The idea for Anna’s company was born out of her desire to introduce tourists to the great food of Athens and save them from a vicious circle of tasteless gyros and overpriced greek salads. I think she certainly succeeded in her mission. We discovered plenty of new dishes , but at the same time Anna gave us a taste of superior versions of foods, I have already tried elsewhere.
While I will not be covering places we visited with Anna on the tour, in case you decide to go on the tour yourself, let’s see what we managed to try in the space of 4 hours.
