Itinerary

Athens

You will meet your private guide in Monastiraki Square and kickstart your tour with a walk through the vibrant and buzzing Varvakios Segura neighborhood. Your first stop will be a centuries-old cafe, where you will have traditional Greek breakfast and savor your first specialty of the day, koulóuria (sesame bread rings). Then, you will pop into a tiny but charming bakery to enjoy loukoumades. Unlike usual donuts, loukoumades are doused with syrup and sprinkled with cinnamon and walnuts. You will tread the beautiful cobbled alleys and admire the stunning view on the majestic Acropolis of Athens, while your guide will reveal to you the secrets of Greek culture and cuisine that you won't find in a guidebook.
