24h Of GREEK FOOD In ATHENS – Best Souvlaki & Amazing Gyros!
*Join us on this incredible food tour of Athens, as we explore all the best street food and other tasty foods around this iconic city. Let’s Go!*
*Varvakios Municipal Central Market*
Our Greek food adventure begins at the heart of Athens, the *Varvakios Municipal Central Market* . This bustling market is a feast for the senses, with traditional butcher shops, dairy vendors, and sweet and nut stalls offering a vibrant glimpse into the local food culture.
*Kostas – Traditional Kalamaki-Souvlaki*
Our first bite takes us to *Kostas* , the legendary kalamaki (souvlaki) spot where locals eagerly queue for a taste of their delicious kalamaki pita. The simple yet flavorful souvlaki has made Kostas a beloved institution in Athens, and we can’t wait to experience this much-anticipated bite of Greek street food.
*Kalamakia O Elvis*
Next, we head to *Kalamakia O Elvis* , a place that pays tribute to the late King of Rock ‘n’ Roll while serving up some of the best kalamakis in Athens. Famous for its outstanding souvlaki, this spot offers true Greek flavors that live up to its name and fame. It’s a must-visit for anyone looking to taste the iconic kalamaki done right.
*Lukumades – Authentic Greek Loukoumades*
Now it’s time for dessert, and what better place to indulge than *Lukumades* . Here, we try traditional Greek loukoumades, but with a modern twist—served with a variety of exciting toppings or even paired with ice cream. This sweet treat is taken to the next level, making for an unforgettable dessert experience in Athens.
*Το Χρυσό Στάχυ – Bougatsa Shop*
Our morning begins with visiting the *Το Χρυσό Στάχυ* (Golden Wheat) probably the best bougatsa shop in the city, where we indulge in some incredibly crunchy and delicious bougatsa pies. Whether filled with sweet custard cream or savory cheese, these pies are a morning delight that is not to be missed.
*Ψωμι & Ελιά*
For lunch, we stop at *Bread & Olive* , a traditional home-cooked food restaurant offering a variety of hot meals. From classic Greek dishes to hearty home-style cooking, this place provides a true taste of Greece’s comforting and flavorful culinary heritage.
*Achileas – The Unique Gyro Spot*
As evening falls, we visit *Achileas* , the most unique gyro spot in Athens. Known for its traditionally made, fresh gyros, this place is a hidden gem that sells out fast. We were lucky enough to get our hands on this Athenian food treasure, and it did not disappoint!
*Creme Royal – Freshly Baked Pies and Pastries*
We wrap up our 24-hour food tour with a second breakfast at *Creme Royal* , where we indulge in freshly baked pies and pastries. Whether you’re after savory or sweet, this bakery offers the perfect start to the day with its delicious and flaky creations.

No prices
alex how do you know all the best places to eat in greece?You eat as a local
Ξεκίνησε η μέρα σου….τρως μπουγάτσα…αλλά η πρώτη κίνηση είναι ένας βαρύς ελληνικός καφές..η..ένας διπλός εσπρέσσο!!!μετά φάε όσο θέλεις.επισης δεν λέμε γεια μας με φαγητό….λέμε γεια μας όταν πίνουμε ,τσουγκριζωντας τα ποτήρια.να το ακούσει το αυτί!!έτσι μένουν ευχαριστημένες όλες οι αισθήσεις.
Incredible job Mr Alex. Very good pronunciation and knowledge as foreigner. You are a true foodie and explorer not just another tourist. I hope that you enjoyed the food in your travels in Greece. Keep in mind that almost every single dish is far better in countryside with local ingredients made by the yiayiades and mamades. Athens is good but not the best for food in Greece.
Most of are Turkish food 😊
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Food looks delicious👌👌
i have just returned!
over cooked meat smelling and tasting of nothing other than bbq smoke and served up with lashings of burnt oregano – and the prices that are now been charged are nothing other than rediculous!!!!!
Dude – I envy you with a good feeling. I love everything about Greece – the sea, the sun, the music, the food, the culture, the history and the archeology – EVERYTHING. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Real chips not frozen crap

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🏼🇺🇸
IN A COUPLE MORE DAYS YOU WILL BE 500 LB’S. 🤯
Best soulvaki is in Lindos )
Basically sub par Turkish food isn't it?
You won't find food made with that kind of quality and care here in the United States, that's for sure !
I envy you !
Greece probably has the best cuisine in Europe.
Stop calling it kalamaki dude, kalamaki means straw. It is a souvlaki
kostas 3 euro for a souvlaki is a rip off
I live in Athens and eat from Elvis when I have the chance. Kalamaki is great, you know it because it is served with no sauces, they have nothing to hide. The chicken kalamaki is also perfect.
Where is O Thanasis?🧐
when it come to the food europe is far far from reality
europe is only name . ive been in Greece for 12 years I know everything about Greece . the food in Middle East and Asia . you cannot find anywhere around the world
Videoda ki tüm yemekleri Türkiyeden taklit etmişler.
Welcome to Turkiye.
👍👍
❤
You should try baklava ….it is really good
Great food in Greece
If you wanna try to orginal of them you must visit Türkiye 😂
Man o man, that looks mouthwatering delicious 🤤 😋
Watching your videos makes reminds me of my visit in Athens three weeks ago. Truly a very special city. I wanna go back so badly!
Herseyimizi almis bu komsular 😂❤
all of these foods are same in Turkey
You did very well. Very good choices for a foreigner even for many Greeks. But I can show you some much better
Athens but Greece in general has many similarities with India even the people look much alike. I would say Greece is a small India in Europe
Great video!!!😊👍

Dear Sir
I am Mafuz, a 19-year-old citizen from Bangladesh. I wish to go to Italy as I believe there are better job opportunities there, which would help improve my life. However, I come from a poor family and I am unable to bear the expenses required for traveling to Italy.
I am aware that Italy offers many job opportunities, and I am eager to go there and work hard to build a better life. I am hopeful that you can assist me or provide some guidance on how I might be able to take a step closer to my goal of going to Italy.
I would be grateful for your support and assistance. I hope you will consider my situation and provide any advice or help you can.
Thank you,
Mafuz
All of these foods is Turkish food 😅😅🇹🇷 greek just doing copy paste

I’m Greek I am from Crete!
This is promo video for me! Sorry! That’s my opinion !!!
Again. I see a lot black burnt meat and such. Prepared at too high temps within too short time. The price you pay. Good luck.
