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.
