    Discover Thessaloniki through its food. On this 3½-hour small group walking tour, a passionate local guide leads you through the historic Kapani market, into family-run bakeries, and past the city's best-kept culinary secrets — tasting as you go.

    Meet at the harbour of Thessaloniki and then head to an old bakery - a hidden gem that stands for three generations, for the first stop.  Sample some typical Greek breakfast pastries such as traditional koulouri (a sesame seed-covered bread ring) & bougatsa (phyllo pastry filled with cream or cheese). Then hear interesting stories during the coffee break, and then head to the open market of the town.  Through little streets and alleys full of history, you'll arrive at the "Kapani" (open from Monday to Saturday), a vibrant, colourful and historic place. Once you finish strolling the market, taste some original street food, and a variety of meze dishes, such as dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), tzatziki (yoghurt and cucumber dip) and have the chance to speak with your host.

    Whether you are a foodie looking to discover Thessaloniki's culinary scene or just someone who loves to eat, this tour is the perfect way to experience the city's delicious food and drink.
