Summary
What’s special about Cretan cuisine?
Crete is renowned for its simple yet delicious food, which is part of every aspect of local life – socialising, family life, celebration, even mourning. Cretan food is prepared with high quality local products that are as unique and diverse as the nature and the people of Crete.
What will I do on this tour?
On this multi-day culinary tour, we will experience the wealth of the Cretan diet, travelling around inland, coastal and urban places. We invite you to join us in a celebration of mouth watering Cretan food and learn about the different ways of sourcing, preparing and – of course – enjoying food on Crete. We will cook with locals, go foraging for wild food, learn traditional bread making techniques and prepare cheese straight after milking! We will also taste a variety of local wines and spirits and visit hand-picked tavernas, nestled in picturesque villages. Come on an empty stomach and leave with your heart full of tasty memories.
