Today was an amazing day of traveling in Athens, Greece. We ate some incredibly delicious Greek food and saw some of the most famous attractions, including the Acropolis (Parthenon) in Athens.
Here’s what you’ll find in this video:
Diporto Restaurant - This is an amazing hidden gem of a restaurant serving traditional Greek food in a downstairs basement tavern. They only have a few dishes per day, and you order whatever they have - everything is delicious.
Total price - 25 EUR for everything
Souvlaki Lefteris o Politis - This is another famous souvlaki, Greek street food, hole in the wall that I was excited to try because they are known for their spicy souvlaki. It was awesomely delicious and something you shouldn't miss if you love Greek food.
Price - 1.90 EUR per piece
Plaka Neighborhood - In the afternoon, I walked around the Plaka Neighborhood for a while and also saw the National Garden.
Panathenaic Stadium - In order to fulfill my inner Olympian, I entered into the Panathenaic Stadium, walked around this amazing marble stadium, and took a victory lap. It was awesome, it’s a must see when you’re in Athens.
Entrance price - 5 EUR
Dio Dekares i Oka Restaurant - We had an early Greek food dinner at Dio Dekares i Oka Restaurant that serves home-style Greek food. The lamb with dill and celery was the highlight dish for me.
Total price - 33 EUR for everything
Acropolis of Athens - There’s no doubt that the Acropolis of Athens, which includes the Parthenon is the most famous attraction to see in Athens. It was at the center of Athens and the center of Western civilization at its peak. It’s an amazing sight to see, even though it’s high damaged. But it’s truly breathtaking to admire the columns.
Combined attractions ticket - 30 EUR
Hope you enjoyed this Athens travel guide tour, with amazing Greek food and some must see attractions. Thank you for watching.

Mark’s son is learning to do the famous eye closed, head roll after a bite of delicious food
You are very kind,thank you for all,health and joy to you and to your famiky!!
I don't understand this place. I was there in September. So many people blathering on about how authentic Greek it is. Four mediocre menu items, devoid of flavour, day in and day out, don't make this place authentic. Chick pea stew, sardines, beans, fava dip, and Greek salad – five items you see in every social media post is what's on offer. Every now and then you see a one-off dish of potatoes or meat, but overall, it's the core five dishes. Look at the photos in any review. People will say, "you eat what they bring" but they bring the same five dishes. When I was there, the man in the restaurant (and I use the term loosely) said he was going to cook orzo with meat but he hadn't gotten around to it yet. The bread was so elementary, that even the most basic bread at my local chain grocer is better than the bread here that everyone raves about in their reviews. There's no menu. There's no price list. You don't know if the table next to you is paying less or more than you (note: they probably are). Someone oohs and ahhs on about how "great the food is" and how amazing the bread is and now the people line up to eat mediocre food in a subterranean room that except for cleverly placed decorative wooden casks, would be nothing more than a basement or cellar not fit for storage, much less dining. Note: the space photographs much better than it actually appears. And yet, when I was there, people queued for flavourless food, were given nothing to wipe their mouths with, no side dishes (you all eat from the plates at the table using only the fork you're given), with all of it washed down with wine are warm as piss. Authentic is a relative term. And it's not so much a question of whether this place is authentic as much as whether it's good – and it's not good. It wasn't terribly expensive, but you can get better, "authentic" food elsewhere. There are so many better food experiences in Athens where you can sit in the open air, eat great Greek food, hear some music, and feel "authentic". This place is just hype for no valid reason.
Such a pleasant personality!
I watched this over 3 years ago (pre-covid) when I was researching for my holiday to Greece in 2020… that never happened! Currently in Athens and today we ate at diporto! It was amazing!!!
Why do you eat like this I can't finish the video
The Culinary Letdown: A Californian Quest for Gourmet in Greece:
When our food-obsessed group, proudly wearing our Californian foodie badges, decided to embark on a culinary journey to Athens, our spirits were as high as the ancient Acropolis. The land that gifted the world democracy surely had a plethora of flavors awaiting us. Instead, we were met with a flavor plateau that left us yearning for more.
The perpetual offering of souvlakis with unapologetically stale bread became a predictable fixture of our Athenian dining experience. The red and green bell peppers dolmas, while vibrant on the plate, echoed a monotonous tone on our palates. We couldn't help but wonder: Where was the fresh baked bread warm from the hearth? Or the comforting embrace of a hot soup or the gentle warmth of a well-brewed tea? Aspects that should have been staples in such a storied land.
Ironically, back in the Golden State, our local Whole Foods flaunts an olive bar that is reminiscent of a mini Mediterranean festival. Yet, in Athens, supermarkets seemed to treat olives with casual indifference, limiting their variety and essence.
Having explored more than 80 establishments across mainland Greece and its islands, our enthusiasm began to wane. We found ourselves booking a hasty weekend retreat to the gastronomic haven of Antalya, Turkey. And what a relief that was! Turkey, with its rich culinary canvas, proved to be a stark contrast. The food was not just food – it was art, it was a story, it was, dare we say, seductive
Thank you Mark Weins and family.
Greece loves you!
Amazing video and really nice research on plates. I take back what i said in the previous greek video! Thanks for the amazing work!
This guy will eat anything. He’s Like an alligator. I’ve yet to see him eat something he doesn’t like. Lol. How the hell he is skinny is miracle.
Mark come again to Greece please!!!!!!!!
2023 gyros costs 3 euro
souvlaki and frozen yogurt are the best things I ever ate in Greece
Kebob?
Very simple food but so good.
So welcoming.
Hi fan from canada you go to food travel i great places especially Asia
I wonder if you went to the first place on a Wednesday or Friday? You may have noticed that, aside from the fish, the whole meal was vegan. In Greek Orthodox religion, many people fast (abstain from meat or meat products) on Wednesdays and Fridays, so there are a lot of wonderful vegetarian meals available. Many people think of Greek food as being heavy, but there are actually lots of light, delicious dishes!
