THESSALONIKI FOOD TOUR: TASTE HISTORY
Thessaloniki is not just monuments and sights. The cuisine of this city is interwoven with its history and identity.
WHY DO THE THESSALONIKI FOOD TOUR
For us, Greeks, Thessaloniki is considered to be our country’s gastronomic capital, and for a good reason: with a history that consists of so many layers, it only makes sense that the cuisine of Thessaloniki would also be equally rich. Actually, Thessaloniki has been declared as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, the only Greek city to achieve that.
In this Food Tour we are going to explore the cuisine of Thessaloniki and connect it to its history. All the people that have called Thessaloniki a home have left their mark on it’s cuisine: the Christians, the Muslims, the Jews, the immigrants. By tasting and walking together, we are going to understand how all these people shaped, not only the history, but also the food culture of this place.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE THESSALONIKI FOOD TOUR
During the Food Tour we are going to vist the markets of Thessaloniki and, of course, have several tastings, from a Greek coffee to bougatsa and from a spinach pie to local meze and tsipouro. Of course, if you have any allergies or dietary restrictions you can let me know and we will adjust this tour to your needs!
