Best food and drink in Athens
Eugenia showed me the best Gyro in Athens, a unique shop for Olive oils, a great wine bar, and a wonderful restaurant where I had the best lamb meal this trip. We also had stimulating conversations about travel, history, the economy, etc. She is a wonderful guide.

Amazing experience with delicious food
Tour guide Eugenia was fantastic! Gyro place is amazing. Overall experience was fantastic. The selection of restaurants, especially the gyro and Ella the dinner restaurant was outstanding.

Amazing way to explore Athens!
This food and drink tour was the perfect way to kick off our time in Athens. Eugenia was a fantastic guide and really made the tour come to life. All of the stops were great and we really enjoyed the wide variety and plentiful amount of food. The wine tasting was a real highlight of the tour. Would highly recommend this as a way to explore Plaka and find some great places to eat.

Fun way to explore Athens in the evening. Great guide and wonderful food!
Maria was absolutely amazing. We had the best time exploring Athens with her and our wonderful group. This was definitely a highlight to our trip. We enjoyed getting to know the local culture. The wine tasting was fantastic. It was in a very cute wine restaurant. We also enjoyed the olive oil tasting. Maria found the greatest food in Athens to try. Dinner at the very end was sensational. We were full, but somehow squeezed in gelato to top the night off. We had such a great time and would highly recommend to anyone that wants a great way to explore the city of Athens.
Response from the operator: Hi Seth, We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed your Eatwith experience in Athens. Our mission is to bring people together around food and Maria does just that! Thanks for your great review and see you soon at another Eatwith somewhere around the world!

Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City cost?
+
Prices start at €220 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City?
+
Included: Learn about the rich history and food culture of Athens; The chance to try and buy local specialties; Learn about Greek wine from a professional; Wine tasting of 5 different indigenous Greek varieties; and See Athens at night. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City?
+
Syntagma Square: meeting point by the central fountain. Please be at the meeting point 15 minutes before. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City offered in?
+
It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Athens After Dark: Night-Time Food Tour of the Ancient City?
