The experience
A gourmet walk through Monastiraki, the Central Market and Psirri, built around six food stops and twelve tastings.

Tastings cover koulóuri, loukoumádes, Greek mezze plates, bread with tomato sauce, local pies, souvlaki, yoghurt with honey, and local wine and tsipouro, finishing with a plate of loukoumádes for dessert.
