Tastes of Crete is a hands-on journey through Crete’s culinary traditions designed for food lovers and cooking enthusiasts. An insight into regional cuisine, a key element of the island’s culture, this creative activity highlights the simple, seasonal foods of Crete. Friendly and informal, it features a visit to the lively local market, with a tasting of local cheese and olives, followed by hands on instruction hosted at an authentic venue in the outskirts of Chania – the cooking part is organized at a local olive oil estate, a winery or a rural retreat, exact location is depending on number of participants and weather. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, guests discover how to prepare a number of traditional Cretan dishes under the directions of a local cook. Our experience culminates at the table, where together, drinking Cretan wine, we will enjoy the food and the company.
