Description
Cretan Flavours Walking Tour – A Journey Through Heraklion’s Hidden Gems
Embark on a sensory-rich walking tour through the heart of Heraklion, where the real Crete comes to life in the aroma of freshly baked bread, the tang of wild herbs, and the warmth of genuine Cretan hospitality. This immersive food and culture tour guides you beyond the tourist track, into the city’s hidden gems – bustling local markets, tucked-away bakeries, traditional kafeneia (coffee houses), and family-run tavernas.
Taste your way through cheeses, hand-stretched phyllo pies, organic honey, and velvety olive oil straight from the press. Sip local raki or a smooth glass of Cretan wine as your guide shares tales of Minoan roots, Venetian influence, and village life traditions still alive today.
Feel the pulse of Heraklion’s old neighborhoods, listen to Cretan lyra music floating from a courtyard, and meet artisans who keep centuries-old food practices thriving. This is not just a food tour—it’s a living story of Crete, told bite by bite.
Ideal for culture lovers, foodies, and travelers who want to taste, smell, and feel the soul of Crete in every step.
