Itinerary

Begin your culinary journey at a pie shop that reveres a timeless culinary tradition spanning centuries. Indulge in the original Greek phyllo dough – an intricate and meticulous process – incorporated into the delectable "pitas," the anchoring dish of Greek cuisine. Relish in the traditional Greek tiropita (a velvety cheese pie) or spanakopita (spinach-feta pie), prepared daily on-site with meticulous attention to detail and the freshest of ingredients. This is Greek street food elevated to an unparalleled level of refinement and sophistication.

An essential aspect of any Greek food expedition in Athens is indulging in the original souvlaki or gyro from a humble street food vendor. Succulent pork or chicken chunks, enveloped in warm pita bread, accompanied by plump and juicy tomatoes. A mouth-watering experience that is not to be missed!

Indulge your senses with a leisurely stroll through the bustling shopping district of Ermou Street. Discover the glorious wonders of Athens as you meander your way to savory Greek specialties, such as Peinirli - a sumptuous boat-shaped pizza filled to the brim with succulent cold cuts and fresh vegetables.

Steeped in history and tradition, the Commercial Triangle area is a treasure trove of family-run businesses, some of which have been passed down for generations. Satisfy your sweet tooth with the most divine and delectable Greek donuts, the loukoumades, first introduced over 2000 years ago during the Olympic Games. Savoured with honey syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, this dessert truly encapsulates the essence of Greece.

Meander through the vibrantly coloured streets of Psyrri, an old Athenian enclave teeming with artistic flair and creativity. Delight in Athens's finest street art whilst browsing local vintage shops and Greek designer plazas - cap it all off with a visit to the neighbourhood's most illustrious bakery, offering freshly baked Koulouri at all hours of the day. Partake in the daily tradition of indulging in traditional sweets, including the local favourite orange cake or baklava. These delicacies, made with a mix of sumptuous walnuts and almonds smothered in golden syrup and sweet spices, culminate in the perfect finish. Savour this experience with special flavoured ice cream, infused with the exotic mastha resin from the verdant hills of Chios Island, known to be the only region of its kind.
