What you can expect

To start things off, you'll be assigned to a team and an area of the city center. Once you arrive in your area, you'll be broken down into smaller squads and given your own mission briefing, which will include background information on certain items that help make up the Greek street food menu, along with a map of where to find the very best examples of these items. You will then have to locate the item, purchase it, photograph it and eat it, all within a pre-established time limit, before you can start hunting the next item in your assignment. The team with the fastest feet and mouths will win.

This street food hunt is a different way to explore the city, seeking out special spots that locals know as the best sources for the traditional food treats they love. You'll learn about the origins of items, such as the humble tiropita, or cheese pie, that comes in dozens of variations, each with a story behind it, or the koulouri, the sesame-seed bread ring sold from carts throughout the city. Along the way, you'll discover your own favorites, and gain some genuine street credentials of your own as an expert Athenian grazer. Most of all, you'll have fun getting acquainted with the city and its amazing food culture in a novel way. So bring a good appetite, comfortable walking shoes and a sense of curiosity, and we'll supply the rest!
