If you are something of a Grecophile who loves the more traditional side of Greek life, this tour is for you, as it has been designed specifically to introduce the very authentic side of Cretan life and culture. Crete is blessed by nature, fertile and wild, everything grows here, and this agricultural side of life will very much be a focus of our tour along with some excellent local food. We will visit small villages, sample tasty local and very traditional cooking, get involved in some of the islands agriculture and visit some excellent tavernas, well-visited by locals but rarely discovered by visitors. In Spring we also experience some of the traditional celebrations of Greek Easter, the biggest religious festival in the Orthodox calendar.View an example of Cretan hospitality hereClick here for explanation of the footprint symbols
