Rethymno Gourmet Family Food Tour

    During Rethymno Gourmet Family Food Tour you will be introduced to the Cretan cuisine, one of the healthiest diets in the world!

    This kid-friendly tour will start with a stroll through the oldest neighbourhoods in Rethymnon, while sharing with you our passion for local food and traditions. The tour will be kicked off with a much needed freshly brewed Greek coffee (for the adults) made the traditional way… on sand!

    During our stroll in Rethymnon’s narrow alleys in the heart of the old city, you’ll get to savour the famous kalitsounia (pastry pied filled with cheese, spinache, fennel or local greens), one of the most classic and delicious Cretan appetizers. One of our favorite parts is that we will visit a 100-year-old bakery, a local favorite!

    Our walk will include a visit a local sweets shop, which creates sweet delights using only local, organic products. How about some baklava with ice cream made from sheep’s milk from a local farm? Trust us, you don’t know how tasty ice cream can be until you’ve tried some with us!

    Next up on this Rethymnon tour, we’re going to sample some locally meze. But instead of heading to a tavern, we’re going to snack in a local art venue where you can chat with the artist and find out how Crete never fails to inspire artistic hearts.

    Last but not least, the parents will try a signature cocktail made just for you, starring our liquid royalty, raki. Also known as tsikoudiaraki is an alcoholic beverage — a fragrant, grape-based pomace brandy of Crete.
