Authentic Cretan Cooking Class & Farm Experience in Chania, Crete

Miguel_M, Nov 2026

Best experience of our entire 5 week trip!

We booked this tour through Viator. I was the best experience of our 5 week trip. Sophia and Paraskavas were the best hosts. We started off with a snack and coffee. Then Sophie helped us prepare a couple of meals with every ingredient grown or harvested on their farm (except salt, pepper and rice). Everything was well organized and ready for us cook. We were very blessed because it was a Greek holiday and their family was home for a celebration. Once the ceramic dishes were safely in the woodfire oven, we toured around the farm that included chickens, goat, sheep and rabbits, fruit and olive trees, herbs and vegetables. Next, Paraskavas took us up to meet the grandmother and join some of the family for some Reki (homebrew) by their still. Nice to hear about the farm lifestyle and Creatian living. After drinking some Reki, we returned to the main farmhouse to eat the food we prepared. BEST MEAL of the trip. Everything was fresh and sooooo tasty. After the meal, Paraskavos serenaded us with his bouzouki. Could not have had a better meal or cultural experience. Can’t wait for Sophia’s cookbook.

A perfect day in Crete

This food tour was an amazing experience. Jon was so informative and shared great information about the food and the country. We ate so much fresh delicious food in all the local hang outs. Everything was perfect but the Gyro was the best we have ever had. A perfect way to spend the day in Chanis.

Catamaran day

I recommend it with my eyes closed; from the beginning, the pickup to get to the catamaran was very professional, thanks again. As for the day, it was really very good; the crew is very professional, smiling, and adorable. There were very good vibes on the boat despite it being their last day of the season. A huge thank you to you all for your welcome, your good humor, and your smiles.

Best Food Tour We've Done

Our favorite food tour we have ever done!! There were so many food tastings BEFORE a full meal! Our guide was so fun and easy to talk to, the whole experience felt like a night out with great friends. All the food was incredible, and he gave us great insight to the city! We ended up going back to 3 of the stops because we loved them so much and wanted to try more!

Elafonissi Beach Trip from Chania

Heidi_C, Oct 2026

Beautiful beach!

Great experience all round. Our bus picked up from our our hotel, our tour guide Jo was very knowledgeable of the history in Crete which was very interesting as we drove through the villages and mountains. We stopped at a cave called Agia Sofia for a short while an over 200 steps up to the top but well worth the view if you can make it up there! Elafonissi beach itself is beautiful and breathtaking the pure soft pink sands and the clear blue waters are stunning! €20 for sunbeds and umbrella. Few gift shops around aswell. Would definitely recommend this day out. Educational and beautiful all round.

Quad/Buggy Safari from Platanias of Chania

Miranda_S, Oct 2026

Beautiful Views of Vineyards and Olive Trees

This was a fantastic tour. You start off at the tour guide’s home with his dog… who is fantastic at finding the ball. Then you head out on a very brief beach ride. After, you head up into the mountains where you see valley after valley of fruit trees, olive farms, and vineyards. It’s spectacular to see. Much better of an experience than following other tourists from the cruise to the port shops. For folks on a cruise, they were very mindful of getting you back on time.

Madison_S, Oct 2026

The food was fresh, the locals were friendly, and our tour guide, Giannis, was pleasant and knowledgeable. We couldn't recommend this more. Come hungry!

Elafonisi & Milia Mountain - Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch

Dan_P, Oct 2026

Engaging guide and memorable lunch

Our guide, Dimitrios, was absolutely amazing. He was extremely, friendly, engaging and knowledgeable, providing us with lots of history and interesting facts about the area. There were 6 tourists on this tour - a nice sized group. The highlight of this tour for me was lunch at Milia mountain retreat - it was such a beautiful and unique location with an impressive history and the food was absolutely delicious. I was a little disappointed that Elafonisi beach was so crowded in October but this was out of the control of the tour guide - he got us there early and ensured we had good sun beds, but it didn’t take long for the beach to become very crowded. However, it’s a lovely beach with crystal clear water and some cool rock formations- if you don’t mind crowds you will love it.

If you are looking for a mild activity (we traveled with a grandma with some minor mobility issues) this is the tour for you!!! Couple minutes of rocky walking to the most picturesque view. The rest was total bliss and relaxation!! Can’t forget to mention the AMAZING and delicious lunch we had as well 10/10- highly recommend
