"A culinary tour in Rethymno Old City"
This is a unique gastronomic experience combining the enchanting Cretan history and culture with delicious and authentic food tasting.

As you stroll along the alleyways, you will have the opportunity to see in passing important buildings such as the Porta Guora, the Loggia, the Rimondi fountain, the church of St Francis, the Nerantze mosque and the imposing harbour with its lighthouse, all this accompanied by local treats.
