Description

Immerse yourself in Chania’s morning rhythms: a leisurely walk through historic streets, coffee by the Venetian harbor, and a true Cretan dining experience away from the tourist paths.
Start your day the Cretan way with a food tour designed to awaken your senses and feed your curiosity. Stroll through the charming backstreets of Chania’s Old Town with one of the passionate tour leaders – locals who know the food scene inside and out. Visit family-run eateries, bustling markets, and hidden gems you’d never find on your own.

From warm, hand-crafted kalitsounia to savory dakos, from olive oil tastings to raki toasts – every bite tells a story. This is more than just a food tour – it’s your backstage pass to the authentic Chania, where tradition, hospitality, and delicious surprises come together.

Start your morning the Cretan way, exploring 1866 Square, one of Chania’s vibrant central spots. Enjoy a freshly baked koulouri, Greece’s beloved sesame-crusted bread ring, before savoring handmade kaltsounia, traditional Cretan cheese pies. Dive into the island’s rich dairy culture with a variety of local cheeses, followed by a taste of lychnaraki, a sweet cheese-filled pastry.

Continue your journey sampling premium Cretan olive oil, raw honey, and other local delicacies at a specialty shop. Sip on an authentic Greek coffee, brewed the old-fashioned way, before wrapping up your experience with a generous spread of mezze plates at a traditional eatery.
