Greek Honey sampling on an Athens tasting tour

Join me for a flavorful journey into the world of Greek beekeeping and gastronomy. I’ll share the rich history of Greek beekeeping, a tradition my family has upheld since 1935, brought to life with artifacts and stories from our heritage. • We’ll start with a honey and olive oil tasting at my family’s Melira shop, sampling eight rare monovarietal honeys like carob, heather, and thyme and olive oil from our olive groves . I’ll share stories about how we relocate beehives to areas with specific flowers and plants, and you’ll enjoy cutting and tasting fresh honeycomb . • Next, we’ll visit a nearby spot to try handmade loukoumades (Greek donuts) topped with monovarietal honeys, praline, and traditional spoon sweets like black cherry and grape. At another cozy location, you’ll savor Greek yogurt paired with different honeys, discovering how each enhances the yogurt’s creamy richness. • We’ll finish back at the shop, where I’ll answer your questions, share tips, and help you find your favorite flavors. You’ll leave with a small jar of honey, handmade soap, and sweet memories, along with a deeper appreciation for Greece’s culinary traditions.

Bake a Greek breakfast pie with a celebrated chef

The scent of smoldering coals and freshly baked dough fills the air as we gather to embrace one of Greece’s most time-honored traditions: making Greek breakfast pie. This isn’t just a cooking class but a journey—from kneading the dough to baking over an open fire, every step is a story in and of itself. • Upon arrival at Akra, I’ll walk you through our restaurant and bakery, where we’ll discuss the philosophy of using seasonal, organic ingredients in Greek cuisine. • Next, we’ll prepare the fire together, learning how to control heat for baking over hot coals. Make your own dough from scratch and roll it out. • Together, we’ll prepare a seasonal hortopita (wild greens pie), assembling both a large communal pie and personal mini pies. As they bake, you’ll learn about the significance of fire cooking, ingredient selection, and time-honored baking methods. • Once they are golden and crisp, we’ll plate the pies with fresh eggs and artisanal cheeses and then enjoy them together. With every bite, you’ll taste not just the ingredients, but the heritage and hospitality that make Greek food truly special.

Bohemian magical night walk in Athens

Step away from the commercial hype of the city as I welcome you to the alternative parts of Athenian vibe. ....Be prepared to be amazed by the mysterious and romantic atmosphere that surrounds Athens and gives to the city a unique touch that not many people get to experience. During the tour I am going to guide you through the most narrow and hidden streets where mainly locals go and I will tell you stories that are part of the local culture. We will first stop in Plaka area to see picturesque little streets and enjoy a walk in Anafiotika, the coziest neighborhood in Athens.( Keep in my mind there are some few stairs in this place, but not a lot) The Second part is a walk among the most iconic cafes and bars in the center of Athens.(we will not sit in any bars-it is more a scouting visit) It's a great way to discover small taverns, bars and cafes and mix with the locals. The places we go to are small gems and are not easy to find at all. We will stop in 1 of these hidden gems to grab a quick bite. This tour is not a bar hopping tour, it's a walk around the places that i love as an Athenian so you can choose where to pass your next days. All are welcome! Solo travelers, locals, groups and couples.
