Try Authentic Cretan Tastes
The Cretan cuisine is famous for being among the most delicious and healthy ones in the world. No matter Crete’s popularity and the large numbers of visitors it welcomes each year, food in Crete has remained authentic to its core, always prepared with the freshest local ingredients.
This is more striking if you take a trip across the stunning Cretan countryside and try homemade products such as cheese, top-quality virgin olive oil and, of course, tsikoudia, Crete’s signature alcoholic drink.
