Essen & Wein

Food is one of the best reasons to come to Crete: olive oil with everything, wild greens, slow cooked lamb, fresh cheese, dakos and a glass of raki at the end. Cooking classes, tastings and farm visits are an easy way to get to know it. Our guides to Cretan dishes, local products (graviera, pichtogalo, thyme honey, dittany, raki) and native wine grapes explain what to look for before you book.
