Highlights
  • bougatsa Chania - Breakfast Bougatsa Chania

We start the day sampling the traditional Cretan breakfast* in a local shop that has been crafting traditional pastries for four generations.

We then step into the tastes and aromas of the old municipal market in town, sampling staple products such as bread, pies, honey, cheese, olive oil, and spices. We smell and learn about different herbs, fruits, and vegetables, and enjoy a cup of coffee.

  • Chania Old Town - Once in the alleys of the old town, we experience the most traditional backstreet culinary spots, visit different districts, such as the Turkish, Venetian, Christian, and Jewish ones, stopping in unique hidden corners and gardens, and having interesting conversations with local artisans skilled in the arts of ceramics, leather, and crafting knives.

We will taste delicious local tapas, known as mezedes, and learn as well about the different influences that all the different civilizations that dominated the island over the centuries have had on the Cretan diet over the years.

*Note: If the experience is in the afternoon, we replace the breakfast with traditional Cretan ice cream!

**The return to the hotel takes about 20–40 minutes in the Chania region.
