This is a walking tour around the centre of Athens in order to introduce you to the Mediterranean Diet and Cuisine.
You will meet at 10.00am at the entrance of Monastiraki Train Station. Our guide holding a Trekking Hellas sign will be waiting for you there.
As soon as we all gather we will walk towards Evripidou street, also known as the “Spice Street”, where you will see and smell all the different herbs and spices used in Greek cooking. You can also find dried vegetables, pulses and all sorts of nuts. Check out the little butcher shop on the same street, full of interesting sausages, pastourma and other smoked and dried meats.
We will then continue towards the central food market of Athens where you will see, smell and experience the atmosphere of the fish, meat and fruit stalls.
Next visit the "Grocery Store of Mediterranean Diet” where you will find a large variety of traditional products from all over Greece: Mushrooms from Pindos, pulses from Kastoria, Olive Oil from Crete, Olives from the Peloponnese, cheeses, jams, marmalades and traditional pasta are just some of the products to be found. You will have the pleasure to taste some of the local products offered by the store and have all your questions answered concerning the products by one of the employees.
End your tour in one of the oldest loukoumades shops in Athens and sample their delicious savory pies, (fried dough puffs drenched in honey syrup), accompanied by a Greek coffee.
During this morning walking tour, all your 5 senses will be awakened!
