Overview

What sets this tour apart is its simple, heartfelt approach to Crete — not through the window of a bus, but through the eyes of locals, with a glass of raki in hand and the golden sun warming your back. Instead of crowded tourist traps and generic menus, we take you to real places: a working olive grove where the trees are older than your grandfather’s grandfather, a raki distillery where the cauldron still bubbles with tradition, and a sunset spot known only to shepherds and those who linger after the guidebooks close.

You won’t be herded from one stop to the next — this is a slow, sensory experience designed for those who want to sip, listen, taste, and breathe Crete. We blend stories of land and labor with flavors that aren’t printed on restaurant menus. It's a small-group, intimate evening where the sunset isn’t just a photo, but a shared memory — with olive oil on your fingers and laughter in your ears.
