In one of oldest cities in the world there was a remarkable amount to do. I had the opportunity to take an amazing street food tour around Athens, visit beautiful and diverse markets, and even go on an all day sailing tour in crystal clear turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. Every single day was as adventures for the senses as this adventure was definitely the adventure of a lifetime.

This city was a culinary adventures for the ages. From ancient dishes with a modern twist to several variations on more recognizable foods like gyros and baklava, I ate my way through Athens and literally every restaurant I went to had amazing food. Unlike in The States, every single ingredient was fresh and all food was made to order here. In this guide I’ll walk you through all of the amazing delicacies I tried.

Staying in the an art district in the heart of the city near a train station made it not only easy to get around but it also made it easy to walk to most sights around the city. I saw a ton of variety in the different places to stay from upscale AirBnBs to lavish hotels. This city has a bit of everything and so much to offer couples, families, and solo travelers alike looking for different types of accommodations.
