Walking “Food tasting tour” in the town of Chania

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.

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.

Christos 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!

Just finished our food tour with Christos in Chania. Not only did we have amazing food tastings, Christos was knowledgeable, personable and fun. The tour was a great way to start our trip in Chania and now we have the herbs and pistachio butter to prove we were there!
