Athens ~ The Ancient City

Landed in Athens and hit the ground running with a Food Tour, my favorite way to start and trip in a new country and in my mind, what a better activity to do than in Greece.  Right?  We started with Sheep Gelato right away! Then we began a wine tasting with delicious cheeses from goats and sheep accompanied by assorted meats. The white wine was dry and a little acidic, the red was smooth and velvety. Then it was off to sample some large pretzels covered with sesame seeds, very savory. After that traditional spanakopita, dolmas and savory pastry stuffed with ground chicken and spices.  On to the next place for a mixed green salad, moussaka, beef in red sauce. Lastly Loukoumades – golden fried dough balls (we call them doughnut holes) covered in honey or Nutella.
