Synonymous with swoon-worthy scenery, idyllic coastal towns and mouthwatering gastronomy, there’s no better place for a foodie tour than the beautiful island of Crete.

On this fantastic escape, you’ll get to experience the very best of the Cretan culinary scene, all while enjoying the striking beauty of the island’s northern coast. You’ll start in Hersonissos, where endless tempting eateries meet a lively local scene, before taking a scenic drive along the coast to Rethymno, one of the island’s most beautiful towns where centuries of history and sprawling beaches ensure that every meal is enjoyed with a backdrop. As if that weren’t enough, you’ll also get to enjoy a fun Cretan cooking workshop, a bee keeper experience, and olive oil tasting so you can learn about local delights - and, most importantly, taste them afterwards.
