As part of Taste Festivals, Taste of Athens belongs to the largest food festival & gastronomy events network in the world, with more than 20+ premium events hosted in world-class destinations such as London, Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, Sao Paulo and many more. Taste of Athens became the first Food & Restaurant license event that ever took place in Athens, Greece, as a result of our partnership with IMG.
The Aim

Bringing together the city’s finest restaurants in an open-air food festival with pop-up setups, without compromising the food quality and standards demands top-notch production planning and execution.

Landing the license of such a premium and demanding production was a challenge on its own, as Taste of Athens was the first Food & Restaurant license event to ever take place in Athens, Greece. And it came as the result of a five-year contract between Taste Festivals platform and TOPOSOPHY, the leading company for food events and gastronomy marketing in the Greek market.
