Eating Local Greek Food in Athens Greece ???????? - Panathenaic Stadium
We traded in the Greek Island for mainland Athens, Greece! We decided to have a little fun and race at the world's first ever modern Olympic Stadium called Panathenaic Stadium right in the center of Athens city. Then, we met up with a local friend who took us on an authentic Greek Food Tour and we were blown away by the quality of food. Even Ryan liked it ;)
Panathenaic Stadium is the worlds first modern Olympic Stadium and it's the only stadium in the world made completely out of white marble. The stadium itself is really impressive and only cost 5 Euro per person to enter and tour, however you can walk up and see the stadium from the roadside if you don't want to go in and explore. We decided instead of just walking around and admiring the place, we would have a little fun and film a ridiculous, over the top race scene haha.... we had tons of fun! After Ryan won the race (boooooo) we headed back home to get ready to meet up with one of you guys! A subscriber living in Athens, Greece.
Our new friend took us to the best coffee in Athens before we headed out to a traditional Greek taverna for some real authentic cuisine. The Taverna we went to didn't have English menus, or menus in fact, so we were really lucky to have Nic with us to show us the ropes and order up all the good Greek food. We ended up with a full table of some of the best food in Athens that you could possibly find. Stacia even said it was one of her favorite meals EVER! Our Athens food tour was pretty much covered all in one spot, we had a mixed grill of Goat & Lamb, charred intestines, heart and liver, greek salad, warm honey raki, and a cheese flatbread with honey on top for dessert. It was truly amazing being able to experience greek cuisine from the perspective of a local.
If you guys want to see more videos in Athens Greece, you're in luck! We have one final video in our greece vlog series coming your way and it just might be the most epic. Any guesses where we'll explore next? ;) If you have any questions on visiting Athens, the best things to do in Athens Greece or if Athens is worth seeing, let us know in the comments below.

The Panathenaic Stadium in Athens! This is the sight of the first modern olympic games in Athens! Unfortunately, it's no longer used for the olympics as the imperial track is not 400m.
