Greeking.me plans tailor-made trips across Greece, and its Athens for Foodies walk is a good taste of its style. Starting from Syntagma Square, a food-loving guide leads you for about four hours through family-run pie shops, delis, pastry shops and traditional tavernas, with the Central Market as the centrepiece. Expect phyllo pies, cold cuts, stuffed tomatoes and loukoumades, and stories about how Greeks eat through the seasons. Our advice: come hungry, and book on the Greeking.me site.
