Athens Food Tour | Eating Like the Locals!

Athens was our first stop in Greek and it certainly did not disappoint! After spending several days visiting all the ancient site and exploring the city we decided it was time to turn our attention to the delicious Greek Food. Food tours are such a fun way to learn about the culture and foods of the countries we visit. Greece may also have the best food we have tried yet. We were big fans of all the different cheeses and dishes we tried throughout the day.

We can not talk enough about how much we love our Priority Pass. It has gotten us into dozens of airport lounges and has saved us hundreds of dollars. Plus its so much more relaxing to be in a lounge. You can get the Priority Pass for free when you sign up for the Capital One Venture X Card.

I lived in Greece in the early 90s. My late husband and I loved it .We were there for 2yrs. The food was authentic and awesome. The people are the nicest you could ever meet. I have so many fond memories of Greece.
In my next life I want to be Greek.

Isn't it fascinating how small the world can feel sometimes? Just behind you 4:14 guys enjoying your meal, there's a school that holds a lot of memories for me from my childhood. It's amazing how our paths intersect without us even realizing it. Thanks for sharing this glimpse of a place that holds so much nostalgia for me!

Just a little clarification, moussaka is not topped with cheese it's topped with bechamel. And if you want to compare something greek to lasagna use pasticcio which is pasta and meat sauce topped woth bechamel.

I'been to Greece 9/10 holidays and never have I had an 'OK meal' - each and every one has been absolutely delicious !. IMHO the best food in the world - add in the people, their history and you have THE best holiday destination !

I gotta tell you..Back in the year 2004. When I saw the movie TROY in Myrtle Beach South Carolina with my brother in theaters. After the movie I fell in love❤ with GREECE. 🇬🇷 After me and my brother left the theaters.. My brother took me to the board walk tour building.. I immediately went the shop and bought GREECE flag. 🇬🇷 At that time I didn't have Amazon to buy it.. I finally got Amazon... I finally buying all kinds of Greek stuff.

I love watching your channel all because of GREEK.❤🇬🇷.

Respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Love❤Greece 🇬🇷

Athens has a lot of bakeries and BYZANTION (pronounced Vizándion) is one worth visiting for its quality, artisanal products as you saw. The second bakery you visited is in fact a chain (Apollónion) and that sign with the words is not its name but the products it sells: Bread, Sweets, Croissant, Coffee.

You should try saganaki with honey and sesame seeds. Not just the plain one. You gonna fall in love

Oh my - everything looked soooo delicious!

[cloudywong]

As a civilized country with a long history, resonates with me as a Chinese.
If I had the chance, I would traverling in Greece.

[andreasmarountas]

The bakery is called BYZANTION and the name derives from the Byzantine Empire.
They didnt have Vyzation back then.

[sophiadraganichcluck]

The large sesame cookie called ladokouloura shown in the bakery which is very dry is delicious with coffee or any other drink. I actually purchased these cookies at a Greek cafe in Florida and eat them almost every morning with my coffee. These cookies are made with olive oil and my opinion the least fattening Greek
Cookies.The ones I purchased were very small. I am also planning to make some without sesame seeds.

My mother was Macedonian but lived in an area where the language was Greek. My mouth was watering when I saw you and your husband eating because I grew up with same type of food but better since the food was cooked fresh from my mother!

Detroit area has a lot of greek foods, not just in Greektown. These foods are found pretty easily here. If you can't afford to go to Greece, give the Detroit area a go.

When I was there for 2 and a half weeks I ate a gyro everyday.
