Cooking Tour with Traditional Pottery Making on Mondays

Sobre

This excursion is mostly crafted for tourists who want to share a unique food and traditions experience with locals during their journey in Crete. In a small and friendly group with a maximum of 8 people you will meet a potter craftman who will introduce you to traditional cretan pottery. Let’s create with him your first clay pottery! We will then meet ladies of a small traditional village for a friendly cretan cooking lesson. Followed by wine and a real cretan food lunch. Taste the tradition in different ways with mezzes, the small cold and hot plates that guests share. Then discover the secrets of cretan traditional olive oil soap making. During this private day tour, you will be accompanied by a former journalist and restaurant chef (French and English speaking). A true unique excursion and food experience!
