Athens, Greece

Tips from local experts:

  • Bring small change and a reusable bag for any market purchases; many stalls prefer cash and small denominations.
  • If you need vegetarian or vegan options, tell the guide when booking or at the meeting point so suitable alternatives are offered at tastings and the market.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes and plan for light outdoor exposure (a short, 1.5-hour walk with standing at tasting stops); the pace is relaxed for conversation and sampling.
