Start your night of culinary exploration with your local foodie guide from the central Syntagma Square and watch the illuminated historical building that hosts the Greek parliament. From there, follow your guide through the beautiful streets of Athens that will lead you to your first food stop; a modern deli shop with unique local products and dishes. Taste an array of authentic Greek flavors both traditional and contemporary, from velvety fava with smoked 'sygklino' ham from Mani, to homemade phyllo pies, and everything in-between.

Accompany your ‘meze’ tasting with a shot of traditional ‘ouzo’ and learn its proper way of consumption; a ritual no Greek overlooks! What better way to introduce yourself to the philosophy behind the culinary culture of Greece than in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere?

Fuelled by the mouthwatering delicacies of your first stop, descend the warmly lit Athens' streets along with your foodie guide to the vibrant Agias Irinis Square. There, you will have the opportunity to experience one of the most loved local hangout spots and taste the best souvlaki you can find it town; yes, the cult-classic Greek street food everyone lusts after will finally be yours; and not just any souvlaki, but the absolute best souvlaki.

As your tour continues, walk from Agias Irinis Square to the picturesque neighborhood of Thission to visit a cozy, local wine bar, where a professional sommelier will introduce you to the wine production of Greece. Try 5 different indigenous Greek varieties under the guidance of the experienced wine connoisseur along with a selection of cheeses that complement each wine.

Following the conclusion of the wine-tasting, it’s time to put a perfect ending to the perfect evening by walking to the hip and alternative neighborhood of Psirri, home to a wide selection of cozy cafes, traditional taverns, and exquisite bars.
