Explore Thessaloniki through markets, pastries, cheeses, seafood, coffee, and drinks on a four-hour small-group tour with chef Panos.
“The food tour with Panos is certainly a top highlight of my time in Greece! He is a hospitable and personable guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about gastronomy. He has a wealth of knowledge on Thessaloniki and the history of the city and how it mingled from a mix of cultures. He shared information in a way that was interesting and inspirational. He knows the food scene so well in the city and how different chefs interpret food. It was so pleasant to see him run into people that he knows on the street and to see the local business owners’ faces light up when they saw him.…”
Taste Thessaloniki with local guide Tonia through markets, Greek honey, olive oil, spices, family shops, and a generous local lunch.
“When I first agreed to sign up I read many of the reviews and could not believe how they raved about it and Tonia..almost too good to be true?? But now I find myself writing a review wanting to share how wonderful it was. A must do tour on you list. If you want to be introduced to Greek food and culture learn from a passionate Thessaloniki native and true foodie. Time and money well spent on my vacation.”

“Our family of 10 loved the Thessaloniki: Walking Open Market Food Tour and Tasting. Helen, our guide, provided great insight into the culture and history of the city as we walked through several traditional markets tasting olives, sweets, savory meat and cheese pies, coffee and other traditional treats. Our small group of 12 allowed us see and hear more than if we had chosen to participate in a shore excursion offerd by the cruise line. We highly recommend this tour to experience Thessaloniki in just a few hours.”

The food was absolutely incredible, and even better because of all the stories and information behind it. Between the food stops we have been learning about the history of Thessaloniki. The guide is extremely well knowledged about all the history and really knows how to entertain multiple people in a group. Also the guide was very flexible for all of us (with food preferences).”

“This tour was amazing! Akis was our guide - he was punctual, so knowledgeable, kind, friendly and very easy to talk to. It didn’t take long before he felt like an old friend. My Mom and I tried Greek street food for the first time and it was excellent! He patiently answered all of our questions and gave us tips on how to navigate the city. We highly recommend this incredible experience- make sure you ask for Akis! :)”
