Food Stories

Food Stories

Discover Crete Travel Experience is a group of young, self-motivated and experienced in field of Tourism team from Crete, with a long term background in this area and excellent knowledge of different cultures from all around the world.
We like traveling a lot and we always try to experience the places that we visited as a local person would!
As a result, we like to focus on activities and tours that include interactive experiences for our guests and that they are nearly impossible to be accomplished if you are not a local and with excellent knowledge of the area, the people, the activities, the roads and products which are worth seeing in Crete.
That was the main reason pushing us to create Food Stories - a blend of food, culture, and local way of life that I would like to share with our guests.
Our main purpose is to present the genuine Cretan tastes, flavors and culture through the road of gastronomy.

Itinerary

Food Stories’ main purpose is to present the genuine Cretan tastes, flavors and culture through the road of gastronomy.
So, our day begins by visiting one local bakery which is still applying the traditional way of making bread and “paksimadi”- a local dry bread which is very important part of our nutrition. There you will have the opportunity to see the whole process and even take part if you wish.
Later on we will visit an open-air market where you can find a great variety of agricultural products such as fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, cheese, natural herbs and fresh fish. All these local goods together with smells and authentic pictures will help you understand better the modern way of living in Crete and how this way is connected directly to our traditions through the years.
Of course Food Stories wouldn’t be complete if in the end of day we wouldn’t see in our table all these goods that we talked about and all the authentic smells that we experienced before during the day. This will take place in a fantastic local tavern which is using only the best and the purest of products that Crete has to offer.
So, I would like to invite you to experience your own Food Stories!
