Chania Old Town: Sunset Beer & Food Walking Tour CreteYou’ll wander Chania’s old alleys at sunset with a local guide, sharing stories over Cretan dishes and Greek craft beers—even if you’re not usually into beer. Taste six unique brews paired with food, watch the sky shift from gold to blue by the lighthouse, then end in a hidden pub where locals unwind. It’s easygoing, full of flavor, and you’ll leave with new favorites (and maybe a napkin list of tips).
Gastronomy tour Chania: Wine, cheese and two meals in villagesA guided gastronomy tour through traditional villages between Chania and Rethymno where you taste local cheese, honey, olive oil, smoked meat and Greek sweets, drink coffee made the traditional way, tour a working olive mill, and eat two full meals at family-owned tavernas—one beside Lake Kournas with views across the water and mountains. The tour runs 5 to 6 hours with pickup and dropoff included, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are available at both meals.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to eat real Cretan food in the places where it's made and served, rather than a restaurant in town. The two full meals and the olive mill visit mean you're tasting and learning from the source—the families who cook it, the producer who makes the oil, the villages where it all happens. A shared tour with a guide who knows the owners and the stories behind each stop.
Private Chania Old Town Food Walking Tour: Farm-to-TableA private four-hour food walking tour of Chania Old Town led by a live guide in English or French, moving through the Old Town's colorful alleys to taste traditional breakfast, phyllo, Cretan cheese and pies, olive oil, thyme honey, local desserts and meze. The morning version includes Bougatsa; the afternoon swaps it for wine and a charcuterie board. Dietary restrictions including vegan and vegetarian diets are accommodated.Is it for me?Choose the morning departure if you want to see phyllo being made and taste Bougatsa fresh; pick the afternoon if wine and charcuterie appeal more. Either way, this is a private tour, so the guide adjusts the pace to your appetite and your questions—useful if you want to linger over a tasting or ask about how to cook something at home.

Crete Wine and Olive Oil Tour: Oldest olive tree, family wineryA six-hour wine and olive oil tasting tour in Crete visits a family winery, an olive oil factory and the oldest olive tree in the world, with an English-speaking guide leading the stops. Transport by air-conditioned minibus, wine and food tastings, olive oil tasting and a light meal are included; children under 18 receive juice or water instead of wine. Book 12 hours ahead.Is it for me?Six hours leaves room for a morning or afternoon elsewhere in Crete, but not for a second full activity—book this as your main event for the day. If you're traveling with children under 18, they join the tastings but receive juice instead of wine, so plan accordingly if that matters to your group.
Crete: Wine & Olive Oil Safari Tour with Lunch & PickupYou’ll taste fresh olive oil at its source, sip local wines surrounded by laughter and mountain views, touch ancient trees, and share a real Cretan lunch high above a gorge. This small group day trip from Chania lets you meet locals and feel Crete’s warmth beyond any brochure.
Wine & Olive Oil Tour Chania: White Mountains with lunchA wine and olive oil tasting tour from Chania that combines tastings at a working mill and winery with a full-day drive through the White Mountains in a 4WD vehicle, ending at lunch served at 4000ft altitude with views of Samaria Gorge. Groups stay under six people per vehicle, and the route crosses terrain that standard buses cannot access. English and Greek guides lead the tour; pickup is included within 3 miles east or 15 miles west of Chania.Is it for me?Book this tour if you have a full free day in Chania and want to taste wine and olive oil in their working setting rather than in a tasting room—the producers themselves guide you through it, and the lunch at 4000ft with views of Samaria Gorge is the kind of stop a standard tour bus route cannot reach.
