Additional Information

It was likely the Daily Telegraph that suggested a unique reason to tour each Greek island a few years ago. For Crete, the main lure was the cuisine. Local residents would undoubtedly concur, as while 90% of the Greek islands possess unrivaled allure, Crete adds to that appeal with the highest-grade food. Clearly, a culinary exploration of the city…

Must-Do Experience in Chania, Crete! - Our cruise ship made an unexpected detour to Crete, and Christos went above and beyond to create a customized walking food tour for our group of 16. He was incredibly accommodating to food preferences and allergies, and made sure we enjoyed the best local treats, olive oil, and specialty items. The pace was perfect, the stops were delicious, and it truly captured the charm of Chania. It was a perfect morning, and I highly recommend booking with Christos when in town!

Unforgettable walking food tour with Christos - Wether you are a foodie or just someone who wants to experience Greek cuisine beyond the tourist traps, this walking food tour with Christos is an absolute must. From the moment we met him, Christos’ passion for local food, culture, and the island was infectious. We explored a variety of small, family-owned spots—each one with a story, a smile, and a flavor we’ll never forget. every stop was thoughtfully chosen and delicious Highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to taste real Greece and support local gems along the way. Come hungry and leave inspired.

Unique way to experience Crete - We had a wonderful time on our food tasting tour in Chania with Christos! It was our first visit there and to Crete as well, so it was a great way to experience the city and learn about the island and culture as well. Everything we ate was delicious, and Christos added an extra stop for us well based on our tastes. Highly recommend this tour!

Be hungry for this fantastic tour! - We did a “food tasting” tour today in the town of Chania, Crete. We took a bus from the port to the center of town and strolled down the streets lined with interesting shops for about an hour. Crete is known for its food, leather, and knives. I bought some gladiator sandals that were made right there in the shop, and the leather was so soft and comfortable! John was our tour guide, and there were only two other people with us. You could tell that John loved his country. We tasted so many wonderful foods, cheeses, olive oils, and drinks! It was a lot of walking, but we learned so much history, and we were able to go at our own pace. I bought some herbs grown in the White Mountains that might make us live to 110! The tour was scheduled to be 2.25 hours, but we did at least 3.5 hours with some extra stops added. We’re all so stuffed that we canceled our dinner reservations on the ship. Anyone who loves good food should visit this place!

Bring your appetite! - You should not eat before this tour! There was so much food and everything was delicious! Every place we stopped had friendly hosts. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable about Chania and the places we stopped. I would do this tour again!

Christos is THE BEST! - If you don't take a tour with Christos, you're missing out! We wanted to spend all day with him. He took 6 of us around and we loved it (my kids, my in-laws, and the wife!). We ate soooooo much good food. At this point I would probably go to anything he hosted. We had so many of the local foods, we learned about the area, and most importantly we had a great time. I would seriously go back to Chania just to hang out with Christos again.
