An Epicurean Exploration of Greek Street Foods, Cured Meats, Cheeses, Spice Markets, And More!
Join us at Monastiraki Train Station for an immersive experience of Greek cuisine and culture. Our tour will take us on a leisurely walk to the vibrant neighborhood of Psyri, where we'll visit two locations. Our first stop will be to taste a famous Koulouri, a sesame-seeded bread that has become a beloved street food in Greece.
Next, we'll head to a cozy bougatsadiko in Psirri, where we'll indulge in the classic Greek pastry, bougatsa while savoring a cup of strong Greek coffee. This flaky pastry is filled with either sweet cream or savory cheese, and its warm, buttery goodness has been a staple in Greek cuisine for generations. GK will share insights into the cultural significance of koulouri & bougatsa and their role in local gastronomy.
Join us for a morning of delicious food, fascinating insights, and unforgettable memories.

At Miran, they take their charcuterie game to the next level. Like the mouth-watering soutsouk and flavorful pastourma, their cured meats are a work of art. But what are soutsouk and pastourma, you ask? Well, soutsouk is a dry, spicy sausage often made with beef or lamb, while pastourma is a deliciously salty, air-dried cured beef.
So, come along with us and get ready to indulge in the best charcuterie Miran offers. Trust us; nobody does it quite like them.
Let's talk about family-style dining - it's a beautiful way to satisfy our hunger and bring people together and forge new relationships. There's something so special about breaking bread with others and sharing in the experience of a great meal. The ultimate act of hospitality and camaraderie transcends cultural boundaries and brings people closer.
I'm incredibly passionate about using food and drink to connect with others. Family-style dining, in particular, is a fantastic opportunity to create lasting memories and bonds with those around us. It's a chance to slow down, savor each bite, engage in meaningful conversation, and make new connections that will last a lifetime.
So, let's write our next chapter as a group and decide where to dine. Should we try GK's favorite gyro spot or opt for a more traditional family-style restaurant? Either way, we're in for a treat. We'll indulge in classic Greek dishes like souvlaki, kebabs, Greek salad, and spanakopita; all washed down with a glass of wine or a cold beer. Together, we'll enjoy the convivial atmosphere and relish the delicious food and drink that Greece is famous for.
Our final stop is the sweetest of all, where we'll finish our tour with a decadent dessert. Try the famous Greek doughnuts, Loukumades, topped with honey syrup, Nutella, and cinnamon sugar or coconut. You'll leave with a full belly and a satisfied sweet tooth!
