Resplan
Ditt fascinerande kulinariska äventyr börjar med ett besök på Heraklions öppna marknad. Möt din licensierade guide och låt dem gå dig genom den livliga staden Heraklion stad tills du når en traditionell konditori för en smak av den berömda "bougatsa". Den gamla marknaden i staden blir ditt nästa stopp, där du kommer att ägna dig åt en utsökt ostprovning. Njut av ett urval av olika sorters kretensisk ost och lär dig om osttraditionen på Kreta! Därefter tar vi dig till en liten honungsbutik för att lära dig om konsten att biodla och smaka på två olika sorters lokal aromatisk honung. Du kommer också att stöta på unika traditionella bagerier; dags att ägna sig åt läckra kretensiska godbitar! Lär dig om de olika kretensiska örterna och njut av en kopp utsökt te i en lokal örtbutik. Akta dig för att lämna plats för efterrätt, för efteråt kommer du att smaka på den traditionella desserten "loukoumades", en munkliknande delikatess dränkt i honung eller choklad!
Avsluta din matfyllda dag i en söt restaurang vid den venetianska hamnen i Heraklion, den bästa platsen att fånga den magnifika kretensiska solnedgången. Se det Egeiska havet möta himlen i en explosion av färger, och njut av lokala, hemlagade rätter som 'Dakos', 'Dolmadakia' och färsk fisk och skaldjur! Den traditionella efterrätten och raki som följer efter din måltid kommer att vara det perfekta slutet på en perfekt dag!

We had the best experience and learned so much about the culture! We left full and sampled so many great foods! Would highly recommend!
Hello Kirstin, Thank you so much for your kind review. We are glad you found your time with us to be fun, educational, and delicious. It means a lot that you would recommend our services. It was lovely working with you, and we hope to do it again soon!
We did the Heraklion food tour and it was perfect. A lot of different things to try out from sweet pastry to salty fresh fish and real Cretan maindishes. The tour guide was super nice and friendly down to earth which made it the perfect food experience in Iraklion! One pro tip! Make sure you haven't eaten before starting the tour, there is so much to munch!
Hello jonasputseys, We couldn't be happier you loved your food tour with us in Crete! We are glad you appreciated the talent and personality of our guide and tasted delicious traditional dishes. We hope to see you again soon on another one of our adventures all across Greece :)
We went on the tour with Athena. It was a great tour to taste custom cretan dishes. Do not eat breakfast! We ate non stop for 3 hours. It was wonderful to visit locally owned shops with quality products. If you are looking for a personalized tour with great food, this is the one. Athena was great, felt like a friend walking you around the city.
Hello myesha, We are so glad you enjoyed your food tour with us in Heraklion! Cretan cuisine is an absolute treat to the senses and an integral part of Cretan culture, so we find it really important to show our guests the best of what the island has to offer. Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review and we hope to see you again soon!
Our Tour Guide was Athena. She was excellent. We began with breakfast types of items, and ended with a full lunch. All food was included. We visited many different vendors. They all seemed prepared for our visit, and provided samples, and some gifts to take home (such as jars of honey, and species). We were in Greece for ten days of touring. This was one of the best tours we experienced. I highly recommend it.
Hello tgrella, Your review made our day! We cannot thank you enough for your kind words. You saying that our Heraklion for Foodies Tour was the best tour during your trip to Greece is much appreciated. We hope you choose us again for your tours and trips during your next visit to our beautiful country!
Our group of 8, (4 adults and 4 children) took the Heraklion for Foodies tour with Athina the last week of Oct 2019. We've done many food tours in all the European cities that we visit and this was by far the best food tour we have experienced! Athina's English is excellent. We went to so many small places that we would have never found on our own. The food was all traditional Cretan food and it was so delicious! We picked the fish we wanted from the fish monger's stand and they cooked it right there for us. It doesn't get any fresher than that! The local honey shop was also a favorite as the thyme and rosemary honey was different than any we had ever tasted. We visited a few different types of bakeries and came home with plenty of sweets to enjoy the next day. Don't eat before the tour. We were so stuffed! The food was all delicious and we are so grateful to Athina for sharing her love of Iraklion and Cretan food with us. :-)

It is our mainpriority to introduce you to an authentic experience and discover fresh and traditional greek and cretan delicacies! We hope to accommodate you again if you visit Greece in the future!

The tour was an amazing experience. We had a real in sight of many different tastes of different food. We loved the family businesses. Our guide Athena was amazing as well.
Hi there! We are very glad that you had a great time and that you really enjoyed the food and the company. Athina is truly amazing and we are happy she is part of our team! We hope to meet sometime again in the future and offer you more amazing experiences! :)
Athina was the best! She shared her passion for all of her favorite food stops in the Heraklion Center City. From the great bakeries to the cheese stop to the herbologist to a fantastic 9 best Cretan foods at a classic locals only restaurant, we loved every minute! Highly recommend this one. You will not be disapointed!
Dear John Thank you SO MUCH for your wonderful review!! We are so delighted that you loved every minute of your tour and you enjoyed your time with our amazing Athina - she will be so happy to read your review! Please do come to Athens and try our Athens for Foodies Tour - I am sure you will absolutley love that also :)! Kindest regards,
<p>Wonderful, well-planned foodie walking tour. We meet conveniently in the center of town and walked to various boutique food venues to sample all included! Demetrius with Crista was our guide and he did a wonderful job in customizing the pace. ALSO, he had a great depth of knowledge around Cretan food and history. I recommend this highly!</p>
Our guide Athina was amazing. She was so passionate about the food and culture of Crete, and supportive of all the local businesses, has to be highly commended. She only took us to cafe's and restaurants that are her favourite destinations, and it showed with how warmly she was greeted by everyone. We tasted so much of the local delights we were soon full to bursting, and then more food came. With the Cretin tradition of providing complimentary desserts and the local wine Raki at the end of each large meal, to the fascinating local herbal apothecary, we cannot recommend this tour highly enough. We love foodie tours & have participated in many all over the world, but this one is the best by far
Dear Michael, We cannot thank you enough for your very kind words! I am very glad that you enjoyed this food tour to the fullest and had the chance to explore the local cuisine, accompanied by a truly expert and lovely person who supports the Cretan tradition. I really hope that this trip will be an unforgettable memory and I am looking forward to hearing back from you if you visit Greece in the future! Warm regards, Nikos T.
<p>We have become food tour junkies and Crete is our newest favorite place for interesting and tasty food. Athina, our guide on this gastronomical adventure, met us at the Lion Square and commenced our food tour with the taste of fresh bougatsa at Kirkors, a family own cafe. Athinas selection of stops for our tour had the general criteria of: local family owned businesses, uniquely Cretin foods prepared traditionally and deliciously, and servings in the style of true Cretin hospitality - meaning there was more food on the table than we could eat. Throughout the tour Athina explained the importance of fresh ingredients in all the food of Crete as well as some history of the treats and dishes we tasted. Every establishment that we entered for the tour greeted us warmly and truly made us feel special. We learned a little of about the businesses, the preparation of the different foods, and how Cretins like to eat and they do LIKE to eat. <br/> We had interesting conversations with the cheese, honey, and herbalist vendors and learned the importance of pure and fresh ingredients this island has had organic food for thousands of years. We learned that the herbs and grasses used for food and teas are gathered fresh in the wilder areas of Crete, usually by women. <br/> A food tour is to taste and experience new foods, however, it is the guide that creates the excitement and enjoyment of the tour and Athina is a professional in accomplishing these qualities. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge about food and Crete. We enjoyed her company and tour of Cretin foods in the center of Heraklion.</p>
