Gastronomic tourism

Gastronomic tourism in Crete is one of the new and at the same time ancient tourist destinations such as "food tourism", "culinary tourism", "tasting or wine tourism".

Balanced local cuisine combines seasonal ingredients that reflect the diversity of the fertile lands of the southernmost point of Europe.

Private tasting tours from Heraklion are ideal for getting closer to the culture of Crete through cooking and tasting the local produce, as well as drinks, wines, sweets and confectionery.

Crete's rich gastronomic palette has been greatly influenced by its history and its location at the crossroads of rich and diverse cultures at the heart of the Mediterranean Sea.
