Cretan gastronomy is a journey in itself, a rich culinary heritage and the foundation of the Mediterranean diet, now recognized by science as one of the healthiest and most wholesome diets in the world. Our Cretan chefs craft authentic culinary experiences, bringing the island’s rich food traditions vividly to life, for our guests, through:

• A freshly prepared breakfast each morning, featuring homemade specialities and carefully selected products from small organic farms in the area
• Guided tastings of local wines and olive oils, highlighting the unique flavors of northeastern Crete
• Hands-on cooking classes, learning traditional Cretan recipes using fresh, seasonal ingredients
• Farm-to-table dining experiences, featuring products and dishes from local farms and villages
• A Traditional Cretan Night, with seasonal local delicacies prepared with care, live music and dancing
• Private fine-dinning menus created for special occasions, celebrations, or intimate evenings at the Villa

Many of these experiences can be included in the stay, while others can be tailored to each guest’s preferences, whether they prefer a fully serviced experience or a bespoke itinerary curated by our team.
