We had a wonderful day touring the food market with George and learning about the selection process for meats and fishes. We followed the tour with a hands on cooking experience in a private home. George is an expert chef and instructor and with his able assistant, Maria, worked with us to create a delicious meal of roasted eggplant based dip, spring salad, ‘meatballs’ in fresh tomato sauce with basmati rice and ‘fritters’ with honey and walnuts for dessert. All of these dishes have Greek names that I can’t recall, but the flavors and fun will be remembered for a long time.

Today we had the most amazing food tour I have yet to experience. Iaonnis Ninos was professional, engaging guide we could have asked for. He took us to his local favorite shops, markets, restaurants that we would never had discovered without his knowledge. Everything that he chose was spot on for all of us. We ended up with another bag of delicacies to go home with in addition to probably gaining 3 pounds!!

Loved this tour! Fabulous guide and wonderful food. If you take this tour (and you should) be sure to go hungry! The guide was wonderful and will take you to the best places for the best Greek food - places you wouldn’t find unless you were a native.
