8-Day Luxury Culture and Gastronomy Tour in Crete Greece
Description
The cuisine of Crete, being a crossroad island, has been influenced, at different times, by both Western and Eastern Mediterranean cultures.
What many don’t know is that the famous for its health benefits Mediterranean Diet has its origin in Cretan cuisine. The European voyagers and explorers in the 1950s who started to show an interest in the nutritional habits of other cultures noticed the surprising longevity of the Cretans despite their poverty and the simplicity of their diet. This inspired them to further investigate the eating habits of all neighboring Mediterranean cultures until they formed a clear suggestion of what we today know as the Mediterranean Diet, one of the most healthy styles of eating worldwide.
During your stay and culinary adventure, you will not just learn the secrets of Cretan cooking but will experience with all your senses the journey from the heart to the stomach and from nature to the table.
We invite you to cook, learn, laugh, feel, and travel with us to return back to your country as a proud sharer of our food and cultural tradition.
