## Overview

Explore the food markets of Athens on a 4-hour walking tour and taste some of the delicious treats on offer.

Enjoy local pies and cheeses at authentic Greek bakeries.
Next, wander through the meat and fish market, the living monument markets of the city. Try dark roasted coffee to one of the older coffee roasters downtown.
