Eating Athens like a local

Athens is a city with a thousand sights to see. It’s easy to spread yourself too thin seeing all of the historic attractions, so don’t forget its food! Athens has one of the world’s richest culinary histories and we can’t wait to introduce it to you. We’ll stroll through Athens’ ancient alleyways, savoring a crispy spanakopita and enjoying a traditional Greek coffee. We’ll walk past small shops with the smell of grilled souvlaki in the air, and explore local markets full of fresh foods. We’ll take you to cozy places where you’ll try recipes passed down for generations and show you the best food that the city has to offer.

Born and bred in Lesini, a small farming village, I had the opportunity to experience age-old customs and traditions, the beauties of rural Greece, and the authentic flavors of its countryside. A memory that led me to culinary school and afterwards to professional kitchens around the country.
Fifteen years ago, when I first moved to Athens, I started to explore it as if I was traveling. Now, as a licensed tour guide, it still is my favorite thing to do
One of my favorite bites is spinach pie with golden crispy handmade phyllo dough and tons of feta cheese.
