CHANIA WALKING FOOD TOURS

CHANIA FOOD TOURS, 3 HOUR FOOD AND WINE NIGHT WALKING TOUR

The Tastes of Crete Walking Food Tour with a Local

Awaken your senses as you leisurely stroll through the picturesque streets of Chania adorned with such fascinating history while immersing yourself in the Cretan wine and cuisine.

Experience this interactive, fully guided night walking tour of Chania with a hospitable local Cretan host. Chania is known for its people, it’s hospitality and its local produce. Not only will you get to learn about the food and wine that makes Crete so special but you will also sample many of the Cretan delicacies. You will learn what the Cretan culture is all about as a local, not a tourist.

Savour the taste of Crete, sip on wine and enjoy every bite of traditional Cretan appetisers. Enjoy a food tasting at an iconic Cretan eatery, learn about the different wines and spirits, sample Cretan delicacies, experience a cheese tasting and view the warmth of the city by night.

Walking through the backstreets and little-known pockets that only locals seem to know about, you will gain insight into the Cretan nightlife. In between sampling Cretan specialties and Cretan wine, you will also visit at some old traditional stores to learn about Cretan culture and heritage.

Chania Night Walking Food Tour:

1. 1. Cretan traditional cheese tasting where we sample some of the cheeses only found in Chania including two glass of wine.

   3. Visit one of the iconic zaharoplastia in Chania built in 1950 and considered an institution, to taste the most delicious Cretan loukoumades (small bite sized Greek doughnuts). These doughnuts are very different to other Loukoumades that you may have tried before.
