Athens Food Tour | Eating Like the Locals! 

I lived in Greece in the early 90s. My late husband and I loved it .We were there for 2yrs. The food was authentic and awesome. The people are the nicest you could ever meet. I have so many fond memories of Greece. In my next life I want to be Greek.

Isn't it fascinating how small the world can feel sometimes? Just behind you 4:14 guys enjoying your meal, there's a school that holds a lot of memories for me from my childhood. It's amazing how our paths intersect without us even realizing it. Thanks for sharing this glimpse of a place that holds so much nostalgia for me!

I'been to Greece 9/10 holidays and never have I had an 'OK meal' - each and every one has been absolutely delicious !. IMHO the best food in the world - add in the people, their history and you have THE best holiday destination !

As a civilized country with a long history, resonates with me as a Chinese. If I had the chance, I would traverling in Greece.

The bakery is called BYZANTION and the name derives from the Byzantine Empire. They didnt have Vyzation back then.

OK, I watched this food tour while eating my spartan lunch of 5 chicken nuggets from the freezer and some cornichons! Not fair!!! Should inspire me to be more creative for dinner tonight!

Just a little clarification, moussaka is not topped with cheese it's topped with bechamel. And if you want to compare something greek to lasagna use pasticcio which is pasta and meat sauce topped woth bechamel.

You should try saganaki with honey and sesame seeds. Not just the plain one. You gonna fall in love

Athens has a lot of bakeries and BYZANTION (pronounced Vizándion) is one worth visiting for its quality, artisanal products as you saw. The second bakery you visited is in fact a chain (Apollónion) and that sign with the words is not its name but the products it sells: Bread, Sweets, Croissant, Coffee.

that Spano looks magical 💙😋

Oh my - everything looked soooo delicious!

This food looks amazing! Inspires my interest in Greek food

Being from athens myself i say you did some excellent choises about the food here. Great video too!

One of the only genuine green food tours on YT. Thank you!

Koulouri it s not Turkish. Τhe Turks invaded Greece and naturally appropriated everything. The areas of today's Turkey were Byzantine, but also Greek.

This my favorite food in greece 🇬🇷 😊

Actually koulouri comes with nany fillings Savory and sweet . Try " pame koulouri " is a chain with several bakerys . Nice recommendations and represent of Greek cuisin. Next time you'll be in Athens I can give you some tips if you like were you can find an exellent traditional cuisine. Cheers Helios from Greece.

وقت ممتع ... وطعام صحي ❤❤❤❤❤

Nice that the tourists find everything so delicious…

Love Greece. Nice video .

Greece best !

Greek salad looks super delicious ❤

When I was there for 2 and a half weeks I ate a gyro everyday.

Hi it's John thanks for the video Greece beautiful food and people take care you 2all the best John uk

Excellent food reviews by the wife!

Abour yoghurt : if tou visit greece try the lamb one ( with joney or just bread ) not the cow one. Its full of flavor

Detroit area has a lot of greek foods, not just in Greektown. These foods are found pretty easily here. If you can't afford to go to Greece, give the Detroit area a go.

mouzaka is not topped with cheese its besamel and a bit of cheese

You forgot to mention the main ingredient in tzatzoki, gatlic. As for saganaki it can't be made with just any cheese it's best with kefalograviera.

I'm from MN and am going to Greece in a week!!!

Feta with tommato ,in the greek salad is better to taste and with onies

I loved the moussaka too! Are you doing any islands? I recommend Hydra, no cars allowed-only donkeys!

I miss the food already. When are we going back??

I visited a place that was beautiful

Nice ❤❤❤❤

Good job

saganaki is my favorite in athens. they make it different though in germany.

I loveeeee mousska it's so good my dad makes its home made you guys should of had loukoumades they are do yummy

Oh, for cute!

Dole mah Dee’s 😍

Seph is fair👏👌

I wish i too somwday visit greece 🤞

Before the German Euro 2001 , you could eat akk these for 1-1,5 euro 350 drs or 500 drs and a spinach or cheese pie for 5-10 drs almost 2 cents..... See the difference.

It is a bechamel cream on the moussaka not cheese.

Thank you! What is the name of the first restaurant you were at? The food looks so fresh and delicious!

Try the pita gyros

As a greek i reccomand first thing first eat gyro

I found your video and was excited to get some food tips but you didn’t list the names of the restaurants, etc in the video or description. I really hope you would name the places next time you do a food tour.

I hope you enjoyed your stay in my country and come back soon. You just earn one more subscriber only for this. If someone want to visit Greece : Arachova,Kalavryta,Tzoumerka,Meteora for winter trips Crete,Corfu,Rhodes,Paros,Skiathos,Milos for summer trips ♥️

Did you mention the name of the first restaurant in the vlog? Food looks delicious 😊

Greek grocery stores are the best place to eat for super cheap

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Actually saganaki is the little pan on where food are made and not the fried cheese!

You should try Persian food

You guyz are one of the best vloggers on RU-vid and honestly speaking you people are not getting justice from the algorithm, I see a lot of travel and food vlogs and I can say for sure that your content is fantastic, the way the videos are shot and edited and your feedback on stuff is absolutely on point. Love your videos and I hope your channel grows more because you deserve it. 🤍

Eating like the locals 😅 , food in restaurants and fast food isn't food that Greeks eat in their homes, it is food that Greeks eat when going out for have a good time.

Any locals who could recommend restaurants with good view and reasonable prices? And what should we deff try?

Come to ardabil

Where are you going to stool;

The "koulouri", is baked, dry circular bread with sesame. It is consumed with cheese/olives as a snack or accompanies coffee/tea instead of cookies. The one in the video is rubbish, not Greek, with a lot of calories. Greek yogurt MUST be made of sheep/goat milk (as feta cheese). When cooled, there is a skin formed on top. All other milks may produce yogurts but not GREEK YOGURT. In Greece one should ASK for original Greek yogurt else one eats a cow milk product.

where is the mousakka from??

💯 /💯🎉🎉🎉

Girl, your fine motor skills were giving me anxiety at the first restaurant! just stab that cucumber!!!!

You dont start with something first you eat everything together

Please next time ask the locals how the words are pronounced. Friendly tip. 🙃

Nice.....l....111

Αν αυτό είναι ζαζικι που λες κ εσύ εγώ είμαι Αμερικάνος

Thats definitely a covid cough in the background

Whats the deal with americans not ising the knife utencil? Other than that, the food looks great :-)

Sad to see all the graffiti

guies good job if you were nt speaking english thw table looks exactly like what locals would choose...

I had to laugh when you compared mouzaka to lazagna. Mouzaka is actually an ancient Persian food.

You are beautiful

Is called FILO not FAILO and your a food critic 😂

You should go to middle eastern food

Thank you for introducing Turkish dishes. 😂

You should look in mirror when u eat a bite you make a face 😁😆😁

The Culinary Letdown: A Californian Quest for Gourmet in Greece: When our food-obsessed group, proudly wearing our Californian foodie badges, decided to embark on a culinary journey to Athens, our spirits were as high as the ancient Acropolis. The land that gifted the world democracy surely had a plethora of flavors awaiting us. Instead, we were met with a flavor plateau that left us yearning for more. The perpetual offering of souvlakis with unapologetically stale bread became a predictable fixture of our Athenian dining experience. The red and green bell peppers dolmas, while vibrant on the plate, echoed a monotonous tone on our palates. We couldn't help but wonder: Where was the fresh baked bread warm from the hearth? Or the comforting embrace of a hot soup or the gentle warmth of a well-brewed tea? Aspects that should have been staples in such a storied land. Ironically, back in the Golden State, our local Whole Foods flaunts an olive bar that is reminiscent of a mini Mediterranean festival. Yet, in Athens, supermarkets seemed to treat olives with casual indifference, limiting their variety and essence. Having explored more than 80 establishments across mainland Greece and its islands, our enthusiasm began to wane. We found ourselves booking a hasty weekend retreat to the gastronomic haven of Antalya, Turkey. And what a relief that was! Turkey, with its rich culinary canvas, proved to be a stark contrast. The food was not just food - it was art, it was a story, it was, dare we say, seductive

I know now.,not to visit Greece.All,the GangBanging Graffiti

Koulouri is definitely not turkish but it is Greek. Learn properly before you speak.

I'm Greek but don't like the food..

It better if pronouns the items in English not American so the rest of the World knows what you are talking about 😂

Over 500 years in the making, Turkish Devsirmes 🥲😀😀

Go to Albania and eat like a queen 😊

For the love a god dont call mousaka lazangia😱😱 a d your boyfriend should try real greek yougurt in the US and not that scam tsopani you get there

What you have on the table are mostly Turkic for thousands of years it is a shame that they presented as Greek food
