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.
Four hours in the village of Krousonas outside Heraklion: a welcome drink, a museum and garden tour, harvesting vegetables from the taverna's own beds, then cooking and eating the results under the grapevine.
