Monastiraki and Psirri are two of Athens’ most vibrant neighborhoods, filled with taverns, street food stalls, and hidden gems. To experience them like a local, the best way is with a guided food tour.



On our Athens Food Tour with Rebeka, you’ll taste the heart of Greek cuisine while exploring the city’s cultural soul.


What You’ll Experience on the Tour

  • A glass of ouzo to start — sip slowly like the locals in a retro Psirri bar.
  • Koulouri & spanakopita — the everyday breakfast of Athenians.
  • Gyros pita — packed with chicken or pork, tzatziki, onions, and fries.
  • Kavourmas — a spiced meat dish dating back to Byzantine times.
