Full description Experience the Mediterranean Diet: A Cretan Culinary Adventure

Get to know the Mediterranean diet first-hand with a tour filled with delicious Cretan dishes made from hundred-year-old recipes passed down through generations. Discover the tastiest and most nutritious cuisine in the world, get your hands dirty, and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Being the biggest island in Greece, Crete is renowned for its breathtaking beauty and distinctive cuisine. Join us on a trip to the town of Chania, where you'll immerse yourself in the flavors of Crete through a personalized cooking lesson. With a local's kitchen set against the high peaks of the White Mountains, you'll cook some of the most popular Cretan dishes using fresh, organic ingredients grown on the island. Extra-virgin olive oil, hand-picked fresh vegetables, local meat, dairy products, and the most aromatic herbs will be used to create mouth-watering delicacies.

The main course will feature the traditional Greek recipe of 'gemista,' a dish of tomatoes and other vegetables stuffed with herbed rice, loved by both vegetarians and meat-eaters. You'll then be served delightful, aromatic Cretan wine, complemented by a variety of local cheeses. This feast for both your palate and eyes allows you to enjoy Cretan delicacies with an exquisite view of the Cretan mountains.

After savoring the wine and cheese, prepare traditional appetizers such as ‘dakos,’ ‘tzatziki,’ and the popular Cretan cheese-pies ‘kaltsounia.’ Once your appetizers are ready, it will be time to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Taste your own creations, accompanied by sumptuous local wine, and indulge in traditional fruit preserves for dessert.

The long lifespan of Cretans is often attributed to their gastronomic culture. After your cooking class in Chania, you can bring this healthy, delicious diet into your own home. Pretty cool, right?
