Overview

This experience offers the visitors the opportunity to eat traditional Cretan dishes made from pure ingredients and very old traditional recipes passed down from generations at villages outside the city avoiding tourist traps. Discover the most authentic and fresh Cretan food at the small and hidden villages of Apokoronas. You will have the chance to try the fruit coming straight from the trees that surround this area. The municipality of Apokoronas is at the foothills of the White Mountains. Apart from the beautiful scenery there is also a lot of history at this old province.

Memorable experience

Published on Oct, 2024

This was the most amazing tour and experience with Yannis. All the other reviews are a true reflection of the fabulous day. Yannis did above and beyond to make the experience interesting and memorable with all the planned visits on the day. We were treated like very special guests and friends in each element of the tour. Yannis went out of his way to collect us and drop us off at our hotel. On the quality of our day I would recommend anything that Yannis offers. If there was a higher star rating - I would have given it. All in all a very special, memorable day

Hit local spots and ate excellent meals with local drinks

Published on Oct, 2024

Host is awesome, he'll take you to awesome local spots. He can answer pretty much all of your questions. As some other reviews might say, you will have too much to eat. Definitely recommended, if you want a chill fun experience and want to feel more connected to the area don't hesitate to book with him. I'd give a higher rating if I could.

Excellent

Published on Oct, 2024

Yannis is a fantastic tour guide.Very personable and accommodating. He spent more than the time we were allowed. Yannis took us to villages in the mountains, a lake and drove us by the sea. The various Cretan food we tasted was incredible. He wanted to be sure we tasted all the flavors of Crete and we did! He exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Yannis

A foodie’s paradise

Published on Sep, 2024

This food tour experience is fenomenal! Yannis will take you to amazing places, cities, villages to try a variety of dishes. You’ll have amazing coffee as well as desserts. He is super polite, very informative about everything Crete and always pays attention to details to make you feel good and safe. He is a very calm person and enjoys spending his time with new people, to tell them stories about Crete and hear their stories. He easily goes over the time slot you booked if you have the time so you feel comfortable and not rushed. Be advised you will encounter quite a lot of food so try to have a tasting mindset otherwise you may end up too full to enjoy the last dishes. As a final thought I would recommend you book this tour at the beginning of your stay in Crete if possible, that way you will be even more amazed by their food and Yannis will be able to give you some advice about where to eat or what experiences, what beaches and what adventures are worth trying next. As a bottom line if not already obvious I recommend this tour from the bottom of my heart and I hope you’ll enjoy it! Vlad

So Much Food to Try!

Published on Sep, 2024

This tour was amazing. The variety of foods and drinks we sampled was great. There was SO MUCH FOOD! Jannis was informative about the area and the island of Crete. We enjoyed the entire evening very much and would highly recommend this tour.
