Led by a local chef, this small-group food tour is a delicious introduction to Thessaloniki’s reputation as the culinary capital of Greece. Wandering through markets and backstreets, participants sample specialities from savoury pies and bougatsa to meze, cheeses, olives, sweets and local drinks, while learning about the city’s rich Ottoman, Balkan and Sephardic food heritage. Combining tastings, stories and plenty of local colour, it is a favourite for food lovers and one of the highest-rated experiences in the city.
