How sporty do you feel? I admit, my sport is my kitchen but in view of the Athens Marathon I teamed up with Foodathlon, a new cultural and gastronomic initiative. We teamed up with a view to celebrate healthy living and give a foodie spin to the original Athens Marathon. Read on – we have a giveaway for you.

Head straight to the Giveaway.

The Athens Marathon, the Authentic Marathon, is not just a sporting event, a hard race of 42,195m. The Athens Marathon is a bridge that unifies legend with history, it showcases the strength of human will, friendship and solidarity. This year it’s the 36th anniversary of the Athens Marathon. As a very proud Athenian, I am very much looking forward to seeing you at the Panathenaic Stadium on November 11th. The team of Foodathlon has also prepared a full week of foodie events the week running up to the big day.

The Foodathlon concept is something I keep very close to my heart: fitness, nutrition and wellness. All in all, it’s about sustainable, healthy living. We all run our very personal marathons on a daily basis, we need to nurture our bodies as well as our minds. Foodathlon has prepared a series of activities for foodies and athletes. There are special restaurant menus for athletes, vegan cooking workshops, wine tastings and food photography. The activities will take place in some of the best spots in town throughout the week preceding the Marathon, from the 4th until the 11th of November.

If you are running the Marathon, there are special menus designed just for you. There are 10 of the best Greek restaurants participating, amongst them 2 Mazi, Aiolou 68, Dia tauta just to name a few. For the full list and menu details please see Foodathlon.

If you are interested in cooking, there is a Vegan sweets workshop on the 5th of November and Vegan healthy snacks on November 10 at Lime bistro.

If you are into celebrating with a glass of wine there is a wine tasting event on the 6th of November in collaboration with botilia.gr and a wine pairing event at Vassilenas restaurant.

There is also a foodography event – you can dine and find out how to capture the best shot of your dish. Yes, I will be there too! At Fouar restaurant, on November the 8th.

The events compete with each other in equal merit, I have trouble myself picking which to attend. Obviously, the cooking workshops have hit my sweet spot but I wouldn’t say no to a good glass of wine either.

It goes without saying that we would love you to join us. That’s why we organised a very special giveaway. So, how would you like a 3-night stay in Athens?
