						What you can expect? Starting from Syntagma Square, where the heart of Athens beats, you will enjoy a taste of Greece you won't soon forget. After meeting your experienced, food-loving guide, set off on an exploration that will introduce you to the local culinary scene. In this 4-hour experience, your food expert guide will share with you insights about the enduring history of Greek food and the local culture. Starting your day with a traditional stuffed phyllo pie from a family-run shop since the 20’s, you will be lead to hidden culinary gems inside the city that only locals know about. We will visit many different food and pastry shops, off-the-beaten-path taverns & traditional restaurants, but also explore the Athens Central Market, the center of Athens gastronomy life. Traveling with an expert local means nothing will get past you. You'll learn why food is a special element of Greek culture; the different fresh and pure ingredients that the Greek land provides us with during all seasons; how different spices have different uses and what makes Greek cuisine so special. Featuring 15 delicious tastings like dolmades, pastourma, feta cheese and Greek rice pudding, you'll get to escape the crowds and taste the best of what Athens has to offer. Unlike many Athens food tours, you won't just be sampling mouthfuls. "Athens For Foodies" is a 4-hour Greek Gastronomy Tour where you will taste traditional Greek recipes such as stuffed tomatoes, moussaka, soutzoukakia and what the winners of the ancient Olympic Games ate as dessert! We warn you not to eat breakfast & guarantee there will be no room for lunch!

Tour en el Bus Fantasma – Compañía The Necropolis Tierra a la tierra… La compañía de autobuses The Necropolis comenzó en el siglo XIX como un servicio privado de autobuses para funerales. Los vehículos de The Necropolis o "Autobuses de cadáveres", como los conocían los londinenses, eran capaces de transportar a los difuntos, los portadores del féretro y hasta 50 plañideros (de pie) hasta el lugar del reposo final. Cada autobús tenía un conductor/plañidero principal a bordo y una sirena especial o 'silbato de luto' para avisar a los peatones del acercamiento del bus. El sonido del silbato hacia que los señores se quitaran el sombrero y bajaran la cabeza como muestra de respeto. Cenizas a las cenizas El servicio regular funcionó hasta 1967, cuando un trágico incendio en el depósito de la compañía arrasó el edificio y destruyó casi toda la flota de autobuses. Solo un vehículo fue rescatado de las cenizas y fue encerrado en un almacen durante 40 años. Ahora se ha restaurado a su diseño original y es utilizado por NECROBUS como un servicio turístico en el centro de Londres. Autobús a autobús.. El autobús está pintado en el color tradicional de la compañía, el negro de medianoche. Los asientos del interior están dispuestos al estilo de un tren para dar mayor comodidad y para que los pasajeros puedan llorar abiertamente y dar el pésame. Entre los elementos decorativos hay lámparas y cortinas para ventanas, que siempre estaban pasadas si en el vehículo había que almacenar un ataúd durante la noche. Esto se basa en la superstición de que el espíritu del difunto podría ser atrapado por su propia imagen reflejada en el cristal, y así sería incapaz de traspasar al otro mundo. También ayudó a mantener los cuerpos frescos en los meses de verano. Por favor, tenga en cuenta que: el Bus Fantasma no se responsabiliza de los objetos dejados en el autobús, los artículos personales se llevan a riesgo de sus propietarios y el Bus Fantasma no será responsable de los artículos dañados o perdidos. En el autobús no está permitido fumar, comer o bebidas que no sean agua embotellada. No hay aseos en el bus. El vehículo es un Routemaster de 1966 y no ha sido posible hacerlo accesible para sillas de ruedas.
