Might be the most unique Food Tour in Greece!
Welcome to the tastiest way to experience Crete.
5 hrs. full of Cretan Gastronomy, Old School Village Culture & Homemade Wine!
We started the tour in April 2023 after spending 7 months driving around in the country side in order to put all the pieces together: the epic Cretan Gastronomy, local villagers - their stories & culture, Cretan history, olive trees, home made wine & amazing routes.
This tour is a cultural immersion, not only delicious & informative but also a lifetime experience that you'll simply never forget, nothing like a touristy downtown food tour.
