The Ultimate Day of Greek Food in Athens

A delightful journey through Athens begins with the exploration of its rich culinary heritage, as highlighted by food enthusiast Mark Wiens. This ultimate food expedition promises an abundance of traditional Greek flavors, making it a feast for both the palate and the eyes.

Early Morning Coffee Ritual

The day kicks off with Mark meeting his friend Tasos at a charming traditional coffee shop located in a picturesque park. Here, they indulge in Greek coffee, which is thick, dark, and full-bodied. The coffee's preparation involves grinding it finely, boiling it, and allowing the grinds to settle at the bottom of the cup. Mark opts for his coffee with no sugar, appreciating its rich and pure taste while enjoying the serene atmosphere of the shop.
