    Athens is a city that I’ve wanted to visit ever since learning so much about it during one of my Western Civilizations classes in High School. Finally, I had a chance to visit, not only for the amazing history, but mainly for the amazing Greek food!
    In this video, I’m taking you on a one day, all out Greek food tour of Athens along with Tassos. We ate a combination of classic Greek street food snacks, and a few restaurants, including for dinner some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had.
    Here are all the restaurants and places included in this Greek food tour of Athens:
    Dexameni Cafe - Our first stop was to drink Greek coffee in this small public square. A great environment, and the coffee was excellent.
    Price - 1.80 EUR per cup
    Kostarelos Deli - Tassos knows his Greek cheese and he says Kostarelos Deli has some of the best cheese in Athens.
    Total price - 14.60 EUR
    Mam - Mam is often considered the best Greek cheese pie in Athens, and it’s a perfect street food kind of place. Most people take-away, but they have a standing table as well. The classic Greek cheese pie was my favorite.
    Total price - 4.80 EUR
    Varvakios Market - This is the Athens central market for meat and seafood. It’s a beautiful market and any lover would enjoy walking around this amazing market.
    Miran - Pastourma and Soutzouki - This is a really cool little deli in Athens where you can buy for takeaway or order whatever you see and sit at one of the tables to snack. They are known for their camel pastirma, and it was the best thing we tried - absolutely excellent.
    Total price - 4.62 EUR
    Bougatsopoleio Thessaloniki - Bougatsa is a famous Greek food pastry. We tried a couple versions, but the best for me was the minced meat filled bougatsa.
    Total price - 15.50 EUR
    Kostas Soulvaki - Souvlaki, also known as kalamaki is perhaps the best known of all Greek street food or Greek fast food, and Kostas is considered to be one of the best places to eat it in Athens. They grill pork, stuff it into Greek pita, top it with tomatoes, onions, and tomato sauce, and wrap it into a handheld treat. Amazing.
    Price - 2.20 EUR per piece
    Taverna To Trigono - For dinner, Tassos wanted to take us to one of his favorite restaurants in Athens, a little outside of the city in a place called Kalyvia Thorikou. This is a countryside meat paradise, and they served us some of the best lamb chops I’ve ever had in my life. An amazing meal to end an incredible day of Greek food in Athens.
    Lamb chops
    Total price for everything - 99 EUR
    Thank you for watching this Greek food tour of Athens!

Even though this video is a few yrs old i couldn't get over how cheap some of the meals and snacks were, even that huge meal at the end for everything only coming to E99 is damn good value, Jesus, the amount of meat was something else lol and finally, after working in a Greek restaurant i was expecting to see Mousaka on the menu but maybe in another episode in the future. I do have to say that Greek cuisine is amongst the best in the world and way under-rated. Loved the video from start to finish.

    I am a Greek American. Greek food is really great. If you don't eat meat or fish, Greek food has so many dishes without that. I enjoy the Greek Salad, the Green Bean stew. My favorite, with a piece of feta on the side. Spinach pie, oh my its terrific. The pastries are to die for. My mother always made home made yogurt. With home made dark cherries for a topping. Just try it once, & you will agree, wow Greek food is Great, & healthy. Enjoy, and stay safe.Yasou.

      So true.
      The strong Middle Eastern and Balkan element of Greek culture (since the ancient Hellenistic times up to the Byzantine-and-Ottoman Empire) makes Greece much more hospitable and very different than Western Europe. Greece essentislly has nothing Western European as a cultural aspect and I believe that is a very good thing.
