We took the tour yesterday. As, explained in the video, it is a great experience. We took the 13:30 one, and it was less crowded in the streets and a small group of 3 couples. The guide and tastes were amazing. This is the tour you are looking for.
Hi Sebastian! Katherine the tour guide here! I just had two of your viewers on the tour today- I had no idea about your channel!! This is so awesome and kind. Σ'ευχαριστουμε πολύ!!
Hi Sebi. You have been an incredible help as my fiance and I plan our Greece honeymoon this June. We will hit Athens, Mykonos, and Santorini, I swear your content was perfect for us! I am also a huge foodie, so we will absolutely be doing this tour. Truly thank you!
We were in Athens in 2021 and 2022, and stayed in the Pagrati area with relatives (lucky us!). We loved going to 'OK Bread', 'To Mavro Provato' (very popular highly rated restaurant known for it's variety of unique 'small plates' dining), Ohh Boy!, and Tres Sorelle. There are so many more great restaurants in that area, and we enjoyed sitting down at Proskopon Square, where they have seating for several restaurants lining the block. And we hardly scratched the surface! Athens is a gastronomical dream come true!
Just binge - watched most of your Santorini and Mykonos videos. Thank you so much for making these they are so helpful! We are going to Greece in may and these videos are helping us feel a little more prepared for our first trip without a tour group!
We had dinner at Bairaktaris when in Monastiraki… I had a Delicious Moussaka and my wife had a Brieam. I told our waiter (in Greek of course) that my mother made a similar dish when I was young, but we called it “Tourlou Tourlou”. The waiter said, “χορεις κρέας”!!! Had a great conversation with him! 🇬🇷🇺🇸
Thanks for the information! Very valuable content! I visited Santorini last year and used your tips and tricks and this year I’m going to Mykonos! Very excited!!!! Thanks
Hello Seb, I'm loving your videos! So informative and clear. We are going to Athens in 2 weeks and I'm hoping for a Street Food vid, or recommendations please. OR best area for this? Thank you!
Great Vlogs...thanks for sharing your advices. We are planning to come to Athens in may, could you suggest some places that might be interesting for kids (parks, virtual tours, action parks, zoo,museums etc.). Thanks again !
Hi ! Thx for the kind words ! The only thing I can think of in the CENTER of Athens is the Museum of Illusions : maps.app.goo.gl/1QbXgQ7urYvuyy8i7 But if you're ready to go on a couple of cab rides, you should go here : - Action Park : maps.app.goo.gl/y8RADFwTLFg7rNo46 - Water park : maps.app.goo.gl/u22Rnye8H6gGgq7R9 - Zoo : maps.app.goo.gl/4JXjqCuXcaSSLe5w5 Hope this helps !

Could you name some of these restaurants? We’re traveling with a baby, so going on a fixed itinerary tour doesn’t work for us, but I’d love to try some of these places at a slower pace!
Hi Sebi. Great videos. Thank you so much for helping me researching for my upcoming trip to Greece. I have a question regarding the food tour. Prior to viewing your video on the Athens food tour, I booked a food tour through Context, “Athens Food Tour with Varvakios Agora Market. I was thinking about canceling it and booking your recommendation. Can you weigh in? Thank you very much.
@@GreeceExplained Thanks. I'm hoping for gluten free greek pastries, like spinach/cheese pie, baklava and the rest... I know it's unrealistic but one can hope :) I know that a greek salad or most of the meat dishes (not in pita) are gluten or at least wheat free.. but it's the "specials" that I want :) Also, and not really related to that, do you have a video showing the food stores in Athens? like Spar or similar?
Sure ! The food tour I describe in the video can be booked at this link : www.getyourguide.com/athens-l91/athens-private-walking-food-tour-t28591/?partner_id=OMW3ALO&placement=%22other%22&mkt_cmp=true

Hi, Sebi, we are coming to Athens in a few weeks. We have kids, 15 and 9. Would you recommend this food tour for families? Or is there a option to swap the wine tasting for other things since they cant drink?
all the food tours do the same shit, it's pretty boring. OH LOOK AT DIPORTO BEING AUTHENTIC! they all do the market, maybe fish in a cone, Kostas or O Kostas, savvas, klimateria, thanassis, all the usual spots. But that's okay for the Santorini/Mykonos folks. As long as they stay away from ...... (my usual Cyclades island), I'm good.

Hey Sebi, multiple tours showed up, which is the one you recommended?
The first one :-)
In Athens right now - what about some abondoned places or really off the beaten track / weird places?
يمي جميل جدا ولذيييييذ 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I cant speak for all food tours, I havent joined every single one of them :-)
But out of the several ones I went on, this was the best by far !
Going to Athens next week :) Do you have any gluten free recommendations for classic greek food?
"Avocado" in Athens.
Otherwise, just go to any restaurant and ask the waiter what's gluten free on the menu. At least one third of it will be.
@@GreeceExplained Thanks. I'm hoping for gluten free greek pastries, like spinach/cheese pie, baklava and the rest... I know it's unrealistic but one can hope :)

Hi Sebi, we’re heading to Athens in May and I would like to do a food tour. Is there someone you can recommend please? Thanks Marie 😊

It looks so yummy!! But my husband is on gluten free diet.
Do you recommend a food tour for us? Thanks .

Dont think you can swap, but the wine is only like 5% of the whole tour, so I dont think it's a big deal :-)
Good
We are going next week to athens .please tell me about weather now a days ..i m from uk..is my credit card useful there ?
Weather these days is 15-20C. Yes you can use your UK credit card here.
