The 10 Best Food & Drink in Chania Town, Crete

January 10, 2022 Flossie Demartino

Much of the old town district of Chania was developed around its harbor, which was built by the Venetians during the 14th century. Its lighthouse still proudly overlooks the Mediterranean. Here you’ll find several cinemas and historical attractions like the Archaeological Museum, a collection of Minoan and Roman artifacts that’s housed in the former Monastery of Saint Francis. Word nerds will especially enjoy the Museum of Typography.

Taste of Crete - Market to Table

A fun hands-on journey through Crete’s culinary traditions for food lovers and cooking enthusiasts. An insight into regional cuisine, a key element of the island’s culture, this creative market to table activity highlights the simple, seasonal foods of Crete. Friendly and informal, it features hands-on instruction and delicious home-cooked food. The activity is hosted in an 18th century farmhouse surrounded by organic gardens, just a short drive from Chania. The location has been selected for its character and ambiance, which makes for a perfect backdrop. Accompanied by a knowledgeable guide, guests discover how to prepare a number of Cretan dishes under the directions of a local cook. Those who prefer to take a less active role may choose to just relax and appreciate the atmosphere. Our fun experience culminates at the table, where together, drinking Cretan wines, we will enjoy the food and the company.

We opted for the mid range 4 wine option. We learned a lot in the hour or so about tasting in general and spcifically about what makes Cretan wines unique.An informative and structured session that is well worthwhile. It may be too directive for experienced wine tasters and so finding out the level of experience of the guests at the begining may enhance Maria's very knowledgable presentation. Highly recommended.

My husband, 3 kids (aged 11,9 & 5) & I went for a family cooking class here. We had a tour of the lovely grounds with organic foods and free roaming chickens, rabbits, a cat and a dog. It was a truly idyllic experience. The owner & chef were a delight to sit and talk with. We enjoyed the authentic Cretan experience and getting off the tourist track for a day. The food we cooked was delicious and we enjoyed eating it at this beautiful place. I highly recommend this experience if you are visiting Crete.
