Walking “Food tasting tour” in the town of Chania
Overview

It must have been the Daily Telegraph that a couple of years ago mentioned a reason to visit each Greek island. For Crete, the main reason was the food. Locals couldn't agree more, as 90% of the Greek islands might have unparalleled beauty, but Crete offers the best quality of food on top of that as well. For this reason, a food tour in town would have been the very best idea.
This experience is going to give you the opportunity to taste an abundance of local products, from the greatest Cretan producers. From the classic Raki / Tsikoudia, to Cretan Bougatsa, the local varieties of local Cheese, olives, and even the very best sweets.
In order to make this tour unique, we have added a visit to a local herbs and products store, (which, among locals, is considered the most secret gem) and also a visit to the best traditional manufacturer of Cretan knives.
In a few words, if someone is in Crete in order to experience its authenticity, this tour is exactly what they need.

5.00Wether you are a foodie or just someone who wants to experience Greek cuisine beyond the tourist traps, this walking food tour with Christos is an absolute must. From the moment we met him, Christos’ passion for local food, culture, and the island was infectious. We explored a variety of small, family-owned spots—each one with a story, a smile, and a flavor we’ll never forget. every stop was thoughtfully chosen and delicious Highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to taste real Greece and support local gems along the way. Come hungry and leave inspired.
Must do tour in Chania!

5.00We did a “food tasting” tour today in the town of Chania, Crete. We took a bus from the port to the center of town and strolled down the streets lined with interesting shops for about an hour. Crete is known for its food, leather, and knives. I bought some gladiator sandals that were made right there in the shop, and the leather was so soft and comfortable! John was our tour guide, and there were only two other people with us. You could tell that John loved his country. We tasted so many wonderful foods, cheeses, olive oils, and drinks! It was a lot of walking, but we learned so much history, and we were able to go at our own pace. I bought some herbs grown in the White Mountains that might make us live to 110! The tour was scheduled to be 2.25 hours, but we did at least 3.5 hours with some extra stops added. We’re all so stuffed that we canceled our dinner reservations on the ship. Anyone who loves good food should visit this place!
Bring your appetite!

5.00You should not eat before this tour! There was so much food and everything was delicious! Every place we stopped had friendly hosts. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable about Chania and the places we stopped. I would do this tour again!
Christos is THE BEST!

5.00Christos is the best. He made the tour special from start to finish. He was so nice and so pleasant to be with. His car was very nice and clean. If we did this again we would book a whole day with him. He was that great to be with!
