Secret Greek Taverna!! ATHENS CENTRAL MARKET Street Food Tour - Seafood + AMAZING Pork Chops!!

[@LukeMartin]

Wow the central market in Athens has some AMAZING Greek food! Follow us here : facebook.com/chopsticktravel & instagram.com/chopsticktravel

[@evansaviolidis6799]

The warm salad is called bouyourdi - tomatoes, feta, peppers, olive oil, oregano served hot!

[@OANNHSEA]

You go to places that the tourist guides mention... Terrible management... Next time you are going to visit Greece ask US the Greeks of Athens where to go and what to order from these places!!! You can not imagine the taste and the images you are going to have from an inormus variety from differnet foods. Street foods and restaurant foods!!!

[@wqewqeewwssawwew]

I love your videos but as an Greek man from Athens let me say that the most places you ve visited so far are tourist traps. Especially Diporto which has nothing to do with the quality standards of Greek food. If you want to eat real greek food you have to visit some other areas away from the historical centre of Athens. Pagrati Petralona and Exarcheia are the most the most valuable places for good food. I recommend you those places: "Aster" in Petralona for marvelous meatballs, "Ouzeri Lesvos" in Exarcheia for shrimp saganaki, "Dickie Dee" for the best soft ice cream of Athens, "Grannys meatballs" in Pagrati, "Marrika Tarts" for amazing lemon pie , "Nancys sweet Home" for old traditional sweets.

i am curious and just want to ask you something as greek.Did you check for coronavirus yourselves before you leave your country and did anyone check you from greek authorities when you reached the airport?

Thank you so much for visiting our country and went to Athens instead of Mykonos or Santorini. Our islands are beautiful, but in the big cities like Athens and Thessaloniki, you can see how exactly we are as people. Not all of us are rich neither poor, not all of us are drunk 24/7 and we don't dance in the streets shouting opa. Also thank you for providing valuable information about the locals culture. By the way, there are many secret tavernas like this one. They are actually called Koutoukia and they never have a specific menu. They cook different recipes every day, depending the seasonal products that are available for sale on each day and as you could see, they have small serves . These small serves are connected with the philosophy of this kind of taverna. They serve small amounts of high quality and tasty food, instead of large amounts of trash food. Dear non-Greek viewers, if you going to visit Greece, please watch videos like this. If you want to live your myth in Greece, avoid the fancy tourist places.

What do you mean?? People in islands are all either rich or poor, are drunk 24/7 and are spending all day in the streets shouting opa?? 🤔🤔

This is insane, actually in reality the most traditional places are in villages and islands. Thank you for encouraging the world to not visiting our islands (when we all know that these people are living from the tourism industry).

i did and i am greek. From my perspective this year due to coronavirus everybody who wants to go on holidays should only be in their own countries. Here the government through media play the personal responsibility card to blame it on greek youth for not taking all the measures to protect themselves and others on vacation. Meanwhile they are very forgiving on tourists due to the need for cash. We dont get many tourists this year anyway(70% less than last year)but those who come bring like 20 incidents of coronavirus at least in random checks. We have a spike on coronavirus and the opening wasnt worth anyway cause the demand was to shut down the borders for tourists and help greeks only to go on vacation with the money EU promised to help the economy moving. We fear that the second wave which is ahead due to autumn will be much worse and every sacrifice has been done already will be in vain as our economy is on very bad situation and this will be the last coffin for us. Imagine 50% of greeks stated that they cant afford to go on vacation this year and those who did went to their villages homes, if they have one. I have nothing against the lovely couple otherwise but this year doing this thing doesnt really help but will leave ruins behind after the tourist season ends. Its irresponsible and very selfish this year through a world pandemic for people to care only about their vacation to keep spreading coronavirus globally over and over again. It isnt even about coronavirus anymore but economies at the edge of shuttering and people starve. There is fear here about winter and next year might be even more fiscal as we are already in huge public debt to make the payments. More taxation and cuts to public revenues and the opening of tourism didnt do well at all. We are already banned from certain countries as a health risk destination and this might go worse next year in this loop if nothing changes in policies. For tourists who travel with coronavirus without an inch of care of what that might mean to the country they visit just because they are fine themselves i am speechless. That of course doent go directly for the couple but of all the years,not even this one people cant just make a small step back and enjoy their own country's beauties? we would be done in a month with coronavirus if we did this globally at the same time and more strict checks for the far less incidents to trace in that case. Now we are on a loop going nowhere and a vaccine wont be there for at least one more year.
