Greek Food - STREET FOOD TOUR and Amazing Souvlaki in Athens, Greece!

Thank you to Tassos for taking me on this incredible Greek food tour of Athens!

Athens is a city that I’ve wanted to visit ever since learning so much about it during one of my Western Civilizations classes in High School. Finally, I had a chance to visit, not only for the amazing history, but mainly for the amazing Greek food!

In this video, I’m taking you on a one day, all out Greek food tour of Athens along with Tassos. We ate a combination of classic Greek street food snacks, and a few restaurants, including for dinner some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had.

Here are all the restaurants and places included in this Greek food tour of Athens:

Dexameni Cafe - Our first stop was to drink Greek coffee in this small public square. A great environment, and the coffee was excellent.
Price - 1.80 EUR per cup

Kostarelos Deli - Tassos knows his Greek cheese and he says Kostarelos Deli has some of the best cheese in Athens.
Total price - 14.60 EUR

Mam - Mam is often considered the best Greek cheese pie in Athens, and it’s a perfect street food kind of place. Most people take-away, but they have a standing table as well. The classic Greek cheese pie was my favorite.
Total price - 4.80 EUR

Varvakios Market - This is the Athens central market for meat and seafood. It’s a beautiful market and any lover would enjoy walking around this amazing market.

Miran - Pastourma and Soutzouki - This is a really cool little deli in Athens where you can buy for takeaway or order whatever you see and sit at one of the tables to snack. They are known for their camel pastirma, and it was the best thing we tried - absolutely excellent.
Total price - 4.62 EUR

Bougatsopoleio Thessaloniki - Bougatsa is a famous Greek food pastry. We tried a couple versions, but the best for me was the minced meat filled bougatsa.
Total price - 15.50 EUR

Kostas Soulvaki - Souvlaki, also known as kalamaki is perhaps the best known of all Greek street food or Greek fast food, and Kostas is considered to be one of the best places to eat it in Athens. They grill pork, stuff it into Greek pita, top it with tomatoes, onions, and tomato sauce, and wrap it into a handheld treat. Amazing.
Price - 2.20 EUR per piece

Taverna To Trigono - For dinner, Tassos wanted to take us to one of his favorite restaurants in Athens, a little outside of the city in a place called Kalyvia Thorikou. This is a countryside meat paradise, and they served us some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had in my life. An amazing meal to end an incredible day of Greek food in Athens.
Lamb chops
Total price for everything - 99 EUR

Greece is on my "before I die" list, i just think for how many years they have been on this earth, their food, history, ancient ruins, etc.

[rhulrai]

I went to Mykonos in exactly 5 years ago and I can honestly say it’s the best holiday that I have been on. The local people were so kind and lovely they made me feel so welcome.

[afdhalsoft]

My observation from this video is Greek people seems to be very friendly towards babies. Micah's cuteness helps too!

[gaih]

Such a wonderful people, greeting the cute baby, relaxed atmosphere and the food looks amazing. Paradise climate and landscapes too. A true treasure of Europe. /all the love from Sweden

[intergalactical]

While the food is melting in his mouth, my heart is melting for his baby watching his daddy enjoying the food ❤️

[mohawk]

I love Greece, Greek food, and Greek people. They are some of the nicest and warmest people on the planet. The food is amazing, and countryside absolutely stunning. Definitely one of my favorite countries in Europe, and even the world.

[riham]

Today I learned a new word : yea, yea yea

[notoriousosc]

I visited Greece in August of 2017, and the people there were some of the friendliest I have ever met in my life! Love their culture and food.

[angeladias]

Though I had an incredibly good experience with Greek food as well - dont even get me started on the salads and souvlakis and gyros - I still wish I had gone after watching this video. Was literally salivating. Greek food and the people are fantastic.

[johnorourke]

The expression on Micha's face everytime dad took a bite is priceless bless him. Even though this video is a few yrs old i couldn't get over how cheap some of the meals and snacks were, even that huge meal at the end for everything only coming to E99 is damn good value, Jesus, the amount of meat was something else lol and finally, after working in a Greek restaurant i was expecting to see Mousaka on the menu but maybe in another episode in the future. I do have to say that Greek cuisine is amongst the best in the world and way under-rated. Loved the video from start to finish.

[MsCarter]

Athens, Greece has to be my favorite place that I want to visit. I would eat EVERYTHING you ate. That food looked amazing. Wow

[desleykakoulidisgallaway]

I love how you can hear the crickets early in the morning and at night...it's iconic Greece - it makes my heart ache that I'm not there.... it's calling me....and the food, for me - nothing better!

Those girls taking selfies in the deli have no idea they're next to a legend.
