A day woven with old-world craft, honest flavors, and Cretan land, moving from soap and olive oil to vineyard and village table, all in one unhurried private journey.
Address: Krousonas, Iraklio 700 13, Heraklion
A two-hour guided session at Peskesi in Heraklion that works through the building blocks of the Cretan table, why olive oil is treated as medicine, how wild greens became daily food, and why honey meets cheese.
Two hours on extra virgin olive oil at Peskesi in Heraklion, tasting through oils and pairing them with food so you can tell quality and defect apart before you buy a tin to take home from the island.
A market walk from Lions Square at noon into the Heraklion Agora, then cooking at Parasties: salad, dakos, grilled vegetables, cheese saganaki, hand-made spinach pie dough and grilled fish or meat, eaten family style.
