About Activity
Enjoy an unforgettable gastronomic journey through the hidden gems of Apokoronas, in the heart of Chania’s mainland. This private experience takes you off the tourist path and into authentic Crete, where tradition, flavor, and local life come together. Begin at a traditional olive mill and discover the art of extra virgin olive oil production, from harvest to tasting, guided through its rich aromas and flavors. Continue to a local distillery in a picturesque village to learn how “tsikoudia” (raki) is produced, exploring both traditional and modern methods before enjoying a tasting session. Travel through scenic villages into the foothills of the White Mountains, stopping at a local bakery for fresh bread, cookies, and traditional biscuits. Visit a cheese factory to uncover the secrets behind Graviera, Anthotiros, and Mizithra, sampling them with honey and rusks. The experience concludes at a traditional “kafeneio,” where a homemade Cretan lunch brings together the best of local cuisine in an authentic village setting. Included are transportation by deluxe A/C vehicle (pick-up/drop-off from Chania town hotels), an English-speaking driver, an English speaking tour escort, mineral water per person, a traditional Cretan meal, souvenir gifts, as well as wine and food tasting.
