Experience Details

This is not your typical food tour — it’s an immersive journey into the real Crete. Led by a local guide born and raised in Chania, this experience dives deep into the flavors, stories, and traditions that define authentic Cretan culture. Each stop is thoughtfully chosen to reflect the soul of the island — no tourist traps, no generic bites. You’ll explore places where locals still shop and taste ingredients that have nourished generations: mountain herbs, rare sweeteners like petimezi and carob honey, artisanal cheeses, and fresh olive oils. Every flavor tells a story — and you’ll be part of it. What sets this tour apart: an intimate setting (max 8 guests), unique tastings like loukoumades and carob honey, olive oil and wine in hidden gems, and a stunning seaside finale with local bites and Chania’s harbor view. You’ll leave with thoughtful gifts — herbs and carob honey — and a true connection to Crete’s land and people. Come curious and hungry — leave inspired.
