Later on, we will go to the taverna where we will prepare together the delicious dishes of several recipes which we also consume in our weekly diet.
Traditional Cretan cuisine is considered to be one of the healthiest in the world. Here you can learn from us the secrets around each dish and participate hands-on in the process. You can create stuffed vine leaves, stuffed vegetables, pork with wine sauce, lamb with green beans, ntakos, tzatziki, and cheese pies.
