The "Delicious Chania Food Tour" invites you to discover a different side of the town of Chania by joining the Cretans in what is probably their favorite activity: easting!!

Get carried away by the Cretan atmosphere and enjoy its popular ’mezes’ ’in several places exclusively chosen for their quality, authenticity, charm, and service.

A guided tour to enjoy traditional dishes while immersing yourself in the history of the city accompanied by your local guide.

Your local guide will meet you in the Old town or at your nearby hotel and take you for that essential eye-opener, Greek Coffee, at one of the landmarks traditional coffee places (kafenion) of the Chania's old town.

You will get an explanation of the role of food in Cretan life, and of the eating habits of the Cretans in particular.

Next, it's a treat of bougatsa, a traditional cream-filled phyllo treat, served in a historical place, a building that dates back to the Venetian time.

Remember to pace yourself – there are several more food stops to follow!

Time for the authentic souvlaki at a particular grill spot before heading into traditional spices places with a variety of local condiments and herbs.

Find out how these items are used in Greek cooking while you browse the shelves for exotic cooking ingredients.

The last stop of the tour is for a selection of scrumptious Cretan Meze (like tapas, only better!!).

Here you will be able to try classic appetizers, a variety of local cheeses, olives, dakos, cured meat, and traditional dishes.
