Love Greek food? Love Greek mythology? Then this is the perfect tour for you. On our Mythological Family Food Tour of Athens, you’ll step off the beaten path to explore some of the city’s best kept culinary secrets.
Accompanied by a local food expert, your tour begins with a walk to some small food stores, boutiques and restaurants. You can stop and try a wide range of local delicacies, sampling authentic Athenian fare and street food.
Afterward, you’ll make your way to the Central Food Market, taking in its vibrant and often chaotic atmosphere. There, you’ll get a true taste of what Greek food culture is all about, browsing through a bountiful selection of local fruits and vegetables.
After enjoying more foods and local favorites, you’ll get to sample a very historical dish: the victor’s prize from the first ever Olympic Games, cooked freshly just for you. It’s a favorite for kids, especially those interested in ancient Greek culture.
Designed with families in mind, your tour features specialized family friendly guides. There to ensure that you have fun and the kids stay engaged, they’ll share fascinating stories about the connections between food and Greek mythology — truly bringing Greece’s food history alive.

Families should know
- Some roads of this tour are a pedestrian area. However, this is not the case around the Central Market of Athens. Due to their traditional character, the streets are narrow and busy. Therefore, children should always be under the supervision of their parents.
- The visit to the indoor meat and fish market is optional
- Although this is a walking tour, we have made sure that there are enough sitting down stops for kids to have a rest!
- The tour is fully customizable in case of any food allergy or food intolerance
- The tour is offered in the morning or afternoon. If you choose the Family Mythology Food Tour in the afternoon, the Central Market will be skipped as it is closed in the afternoon.

Our family enjoyed the food tour in Athens a lot. Our tour guide Constantina was a delight! She showed us different parts of the city of where locals shop and ate. We definitely felt more immersed after the tour. All the eats were super yummy too! We enjoyed all the mythology stories that has been told to the kids in Greece. Definitely a wonderful way to learn about the city!
