Nic Papadopoulos and Janet Aldworth have collaborated in creating a bespoke food tour through Greece. It\u2019s the culmination of two lifetimes devoted to their passions \u2013 food and travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Nic, the celebrated foodie and former owner of Eat Greek, a family-run restaurant known for its hospitality and authentic Greek cuisine, has always believed in the power of food to bring people together. Janet,\u00a0 managing director of Sure Voyager Travel, has spent over 50 years crafting unforgettable travel experiences, with a deep focus on culture and culinary discovery. Together, they\u2019ve created a ten-day journey that combines their shared love for Greece, its rich traditions and the joy of connection. \u201cGreek food is about so much more than moussaka and baklava,\u201d Nic explains with a smile. \u201cIt\u2019s about discovering those undiscovered dishes \u2013 the ones passed down through generations. Food connects people.\u201d Janet agrees, adding, \u201cThis tour is about so much more than visiting beautiful places \u2013 it\u2019s about tasting, learning, and truly experiencing the heart of Greek culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"A TASTE OF AUTHENTICITY<\/strong>
\nThe journey begins in Athens, where travellers will walk through historic markets, learn to make tzatziki, and explore hidden artisan spots. Janet meticulously scouted each stop on the route herself, sampling everything from traditional dishes to local wines. \u201cAthens has this vibrant food culture,\u201d Nic says. \u201cYou get to know the people behind the food. They\u2019ll hand you a slice of feta or tell you the story of their honey \u2013 it\u2019s magic.\u201d<\/p>\n
