About this activity

Your experience begins with a warm welcome and an introduction to Cretan hospitality. First stop is the local open market, where you’ll meet producers, learn about fresh ingredients, and have time for your own purchases.

The walk continues through the Old Town’s narrow streets, filled with Venetian mansions and Ottoman history. Your guide will share stories about local life and traditions. As this is a food tour, you will stop at a traditional bakery for handmade Cretan pies, visit a local café for a glass of raki, and finally enjoy a full, authentic meal at a traditional taverna.

A complete cultural and gastronomic journey focused on quality and genuine hospitality.
