About Athens Market Tours
A market tour in Athens decodes the agora — a guide walks you stall to stall, feeds you as you go, and explains what everything is and how it’s cooked.
Go hungry and go in the morning — the markets peak before noon and the best counters sell out.

What Travelers Say
5/5
from 1212 verified GetYourGuide travelers
"The cooking class was excellent. It was not a demonstration it was Hands-On. You actually cooked your own meal did all the prepping the instructor was quite entertaining. I highly recommend. It probably my best cooking class I've had over many different opportunities to go to cooking classes."
"My son and I really enjoyed this! The food turned out delicious and the guide was fun and enthusiastic. I probably would have never found the market, which was a wonderful insight into Greece. Highly recommended."
