Description

Explore the vibrant Psirri neighborhood on a guided tour. Taste Athenian street food, enjoy a sommelier-led wine tasting, and indulge in a multi-course dinner.
Begin your journey at Monastiraki Square with a magnificent view of the ancient, illuminated Acropolis. Delve into the heart of authentic Greek tastes with a curated street-food sampling. Explore the vibrant Psirri neighborhood, known for its significant history and creative spirit, tasting traditional Greek ice cream and the sweet, crispy delight of loukoumades—small, deep-fried dough puffs, often flavored with thyme honey and cinnamon.

Continue your gastronomic walk, sampling the savory essentials: the flaky, beloved spanakopita—a traditional Greek savory pastry with a spinach and feta filling—and the iconic koulouri—the classic sesame-covered bread ring. These bites serve as the perfect cultural appetizer before the transition to the refined part of the evening.

Next, enjoy a focused immersion into Greece’s millennia-old winemaking tradition. Be seated at a local wine cellar for a dedicated session, where a sommelier will guide you through five premium Greek wine varieties, each perfectly paired with artisan cheeses.

Finally, proceed to a renowned restaurant in the trendy Kerameikos area for a multi-course dinner. Enjoy contemporary twists on traditional Greek dishes and have the unique privilege of chatting with the chef, gaining insights into their use of local products and Greek cooking practices.
