Additional Information
This isn’t your average, city-center, tourist-targeted culinary exploration!
This gastronomic journey is where Crete’s cuisine springs to life and intersects with local customs!
Our meal plan capitalizes on the essentials of the globally acclaimed Cretan diet, and is guaranteed to delight your palate and appease your hunger: salads, starters, main meals prepared slow or baked, house-made wine, and pudding. All dishes are composed from ingredients and products that are seasonally cultivated in local gardens or even foraged from the wild.
In our Savor & Discover Crete - Gastronomy Tour, that guides you across Chania’s Lefka Ori, we’ve compiled the various elements that contribute to Crete’s uniqueness and charm: Cretan inhabitants and their significant culture, local legends and history, olive groves and the natural environment, genuine hamlets, and of course, the legendary Cretan cuisine. These are all the fragments that construct the distinct mosaic of Crete.
Savor & Discover Crete - Gastronomy Tour[off the beaten track] is an extraordinary gourmet and life experience that will forever remain etched in your memory. Pure Crete at its peak!

Just book it now! - What an awesome day with our hosts Marie Claire and Stelios sampling fantastic food and drink! (That cheese and those tomatoes 🔥). Truly a glimpse into Chania countryside living. It was just my daughter and me and another lovely couple from Toronto. Get out of the “tourist zone” and enjoy the real Crete!

One to be remembered. - Amazing experience. If you want to see and taste the genuine Crete cuisine, and see the side of Crete that is not influenced by tourism, this is absolutely the tour you want! But i cannot leave a review without mentioning "Bonnie and Clyde" with their open arms and positive view of life and living life to it's fullest.
Lots of laughs and smiles makes this a tour to be remembered.

You don’t want to miss this culinary adventure! - The hosts were vivacious and welcoming! They made the day in the White Mountains enjoyable and successfully introduced us to Cretan restauranteurs who made incredible and authentic meals from old family recipes. The wine was plentiful and locally produced. Each meal host showed their pride for their homes, wine, and food!
It was a joy to get up into the mountains and see small villages up above bustling Chania below!
All four of us highly recommend this tour. Sign up soon!

Amazing Cretan Experience! - Oh my goodness, what an amazing tour! Escaping the busyness of Chania and traveling into the White Mountains was fabulous and a needed change of pace. We experienced so much of nature’s beauty; warm and welcoming hospitality by the homeowners in the villages; wonderful Cretan food, wine and raki; and it was all wrapped in insightful information from our hosts and LOTS of laughter. Hands-down, this tour was the highlight of our Greek vacation!!!

Food for life - Luckily we booked this food tour, while we were in Chania.
That was the highlight of all the tours we booked in Greece. It is not so easy to describe all the elements we experienced, during this 5 hours tour. We can say only go live this experience. The food, the people, the nature, wines are all beyond expectations.
Guide is local with the right connections. Thank you Stelios.
