Begin your immersive journey by connecting with the essence of the Mediterranean diet: Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO). We'll meet at a welcoming local café/bar for a private, 60-minute guided tasting, sampling different exquisite regional varietals. You will learn the art of discerning quality, understand the harvesting and production processes, and discover why Greek EVOO is celebrated globally for its unparalleled quality and profound health benefits.

Energized by the tasting, we step out to join the vibrant, waking gastronomic life of central Athens. Our culinary walk picks up with a taste of the beloved Bougatsa (a flaky Greek pastry, often filled with sweet custard or savory feta cheese) from an artisan specialist. We’ll then navigate the bustling lanes, offering a privileged pass into the city's culinary soul, taking you beyond main tourist paths to discover the real, everyday flavors that define local life.

The experience culminates in the authentic hustle of the Varvakeios Municipal Market. Here, you’ll feel the true pulse of the city, enjoying a traditional Mezé plate with an authentic local spirit. We will stop by a seasonal farmers market (Laiki) for fresh produce and conclude the experience with a final, satisfying bite of a legendary Spanakopita, leaving you nourished and informed about the true Athenian lifestyle and the famed Mediterranean diet.
