Overview
Rethymno is a town where history, taste and tradition meet in perfect harmony, and there is no better way to discover it than on foot with a local expert. This private 4-hour walking food tour takes you off the typical tourist trail and into the soul of the city.
Your guide, an experienced foodie, will start in the old town and lead you through narrow cobblestone streets, past Venetian facades, hidden fountains, and fragrant bakeries. Along the way, you’ll sample a select range of authentic Cretan delicacies, from artisan cheeses and olives to local wines, freshly baked bread, and traditional sweets. You will even enjoy a cup of Greek coffee prepared traditionally.
Get to know the people behind the food: the producers, bakers, and traders who take pride in their craft and keep the local culinary traditions alive. Our team has personally selected each tasting stop for its quality, authenticity, and local character.
This relaxed, engaging tour is not just about food, but also about cultural connections and storytelling through taste. Ideal for curious travelers who want to explore the real Rethymno, one bite at a time. It can also be arranged as a private activity upon request, for an even more personalized experience.
