This might be the most unique Food Tour in Greece, according to our guests!
A 5 hrs. deep dive into Cretan Gastronomy, Old School Village Culture & Homemade Wine!
Experience the pieces that make Crete so valuable & beautiful: the epic Cretan Gastronomy, local villagers & their stories, less known areas, Cretan history, olive oil - trees & home made wine.
Not only is it delicious & informative but also a cultural immersion that you would never have if simply hanging out in downtown Chania, on a touristy food tour.
