Rethymno Gastronomy Tour

Description

Our first stop will be to a picturesque "kafenio", to start the day with Greek coffee coupled with the traditional extra thin handmade cheese pie "sfakianopita" with thyme honey on top, the perfect and most cretan way to begin your day.

A stroll through the Venetian port and old city's narrow streets we bring us to the oldest workshop where "phyllo" is made in the most traditional way the last 63 years and counting! This is where we will get some baklava for later.

Then, after we explore the most important historic and cultural sites of the old city until we discover a hidden garden that hosts a tavern is our next stop. There we will get a generous amount of Cretan "mezedes"-small dishes- accompanied by raki or Cretan wine.

Good food, quality drink and the shadow of the trees is all that is the best setting to talk about Cretan history, culture, way of living or anything else comes up to our minds.

When we're done, our tour will end at the gates of the city's fortress.

About operator:

We specialize in creating unique experiences, such as organizing excursions to remote traditional villages, so to give to our visitors the opportunity to interact with the locals and learn about their culture and habits. We invite you to witness the activities of the genuine Cretan life, such as harvesting soil and producing traditional products like wine, raki, cheese, traditional rusks, honey, olive oil... the list goes on! We always try to give our guests a warm experience, therefore most of our excursions are in small groups; that is because we value the personal feeling that mass tourism fails to deliver. Apart from daily trips to villages and natural landscapes, we give our guests the opportunity to organize a trip that will suit them 100%. By getting in contact, we can discuss and design the perfect one-day or multi-day trip for you. Therefore, we can personalize every experience depending on the taste, the wishes and the needs of each of our visitors.
