It goes without any that the local food gives you the best insight into a place. No matter how cosmopolitan a city may be, with the English language and the American culture all pervasive, food is a thing that remains local! Don’t be fearful about trying new things, don’t worry that you won’t be able to order from the local menu, just give it a local cuisine try without a second thought.
Because you just can’t experience a place fully unless you treat food the way the locals do! We will make sure, you get to see where the heart of the Athenian food scene beats fast.
We believe that trying the local cuisine helps explore the actual relationship of our city with food. Walking across the central market, brimming with fresh fruit and vegetables, into the fish market, for the freshest seafood. We promise that your senses will bring back salty memories. You can surely hear the bustling loud voices calling for the catch of the day.
Then down Evripidou Street where you can smell the scent of oregano, mint, ginger and pepper as soon as you turn the corner. You don’t need to get off the beaten path to try cheese and olives, honey and salami. You just need to wander and be fearless!
Try the fried dough with cinnamon and honey! Grab one koulouri, plain, circular bread with sesame seeds from the street, our go – to – breakfast. Lay back and enjoy a warm cup of flavorful Greek coffee, try a delicious pie of local ingredients!
A visit in Athens cannot end without trying the world-renowned Greek delight. Please, meet the Original, the authentic, the king of Greek street food, the Souvlaki.
Welcome to Athens and Kali Orexi! {Bon Appetit)
