A traditional herb shop
The food an the people always end up being the best memories, and our food tour of Athens with Tina Kyriakis of Alternative Athens, was the best of all possible combinations. Tina is fun and full of info, and most importantly, the boys really liked her! We will definitely work with her next year!

We met Tina and a small group at Monistiraki Square for a food tour, which we were all looking forward to. She took us to about a dozen restaurants, cafes, and shops that are local favorites and offered us samples and explanations of traditional foods. We tried olive oils and vinegars, olives, relishes, breads, pastries, and stopped in at a coffee shop to see how Greek coffee is prepared. She also took us to the local produce, meat, and fish markets, and although the vegetarians didn’t spend much time in the meat and fish markets, it was interesting for everyone else. Tina made sure that Sam had something gluten free, and Jackson something vegan to try whenever possible. By the time we sat for a final souvlaki sampling, we were all stuffed
