Thessaloniki: Guided Food and Culture Tour with Tastings

Discover Thessaloniki through its flavors and stories! Explore markets and historic streets while tasting local specialties. Visit Atatürk’s birthplace, highlighting city’s Greek and Turkish heritage.
Thessaloniki isn’t just Greece’s second city—it’s the country’s culinary capital. On this guided walking food tour, you’ll stroll through lively markets, traditional squares, and atmospheric neighborhoods while tasting the city’s most iconic bites.

Begin your tour at the recently restored Modiano Market, where Jewish heritage meets modern flavors. Sample a warm bougatsa pastry or crunchy koulouri bread ring, and learn why locals still shop at family-run stalls.

Continue to Kapani Market, Thessaloniki’s oldest open-air market. Here, taste local cheeses, olives, and cured meats, and discover how Ottoman and Balkan influences shaped the city’s palate.

A short walk brings you to Athonos Square, a traditional gathering spot tucked behind Aristotelous Square. In its tavernas, enjoy a meze plate—perhaps dolmadakia, fried eggplant, or tzatziki—paired with a glass of ouzo or retsina.

From there, follow your guide into the Ladadika district, once a bustling merchant hub, now a lively food quarter. Relax with seafood meze and a glass of tsipouro or local wine, soaking in the atmosphere of this historic neighborhood.

Finally, visit the Atatürk Museum, the birthplace of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, founder of modern Turkey. This elegant Ottoman-era home connects the shared heritage of Thessaloniki and Istanbul, adding a cross-cultural dimension to your experience.

End your tour with a sweet treat of Trigona Panoramatos or loukoumades (cream-filled phyllo triangles) or golden loukoumades drizzled with honey, symbolizing the city’s love of pastries and tradition.

By the end, you’ll have tasted Thessaloniki’s multicultural heritage—Jewish, Ottoman, Balkan, and Mediterranean—all on one unforgettable walk.
