Eat & Crete – Food Tour [out of the box]

About this activity

In this original food tour which takes you through Chania’s White Mountains, you’ll experience all the ingredients that make Crete so unique and beautiful : villages & villagers, local stories & Cretan history, virgin olive oil, centuries old olive trees and of course, the epic Cretan Gastronomy.

We start our tour driving out of Chania’s busy city center heading to our first stop, where we’ll have time to break the ice, relax into nature’s rhythm with a special wine tasting and amazing view.

The tour continues through a breathtaking gorge to a tiny village where time stands still. On this second stop, we’ll taste local foods & delicacies, local spirit (raki), extra virgin olive oil & more, while meeting villagers & their culture.

Driving through the mountain roads with the alpine scenery full of trees & grapevines, we’ll arrive at the final stop, for our main Gastronomic Meal.

Food menu includes the core of the world-renowned Cretan diet that’ll satisfy our senses & stomach: seasonal salads & appetizers, 3 main slow-cooked dishes, plenty of olive oil, accompanied with home made wine & dessert. Menu ingredients & produce are grown seasonally in local gardens or even wild- foraged.
