About this experience
Highlights
- Taste the best street food in Chania Old Town on a private gastronomic journey
- Wander the lanes of the historic quarter and Venetian port with your destination angel and hear illuminating insights and stories

Description
We invite you to indulge in Crete’s celebrated gastronomy with this private experience that combines a guided food tasting tour in the historic Old Town with a cultural and gastronomic road trip through the picturesque villages at the base of the White Mountains. With your in-the-know foodie destination angel, you will sample Cretan delicacies as you walk through the alleys of the Old Town of Chania.
We’ll visit the bustling municipal market, meet the vendors, try local cheeses, olives, raki and olive oil and learn about the great variety of Cretan herbs, wild greens and traditional recipes. Find out how you can prepare a Greek coffee, why Cretans use rusk in their diet, what does a typical wedding feast include – and much more.
A gastronomic encounter in Chania would be incomplete without visiting the mountain villages that still preserve the authentic Cretan spirit.
The special “finale” of your experience will be enjoying lunch in a taverna prized for its “slow food” gastronomy where we will taste a variety of traditional Cretan recipes cooked in firewood, accompanied by local wine and beer. On our way back, we will drive through the magnificent Therissos gorge.
