We will start our gastronomical journey by tasting a piece of home-made pies and traditional coffee at a small- hidden in the narrow streets of the old town-unique small cafe. We will talk about the history of Rethymno and our daily life here. An introduction to our history before we start our "walking" in the center of our old town.

Following,we will visit a small shop of natural products in order to taste some Cretan original honey,or even some olive oil,olive paste and more..

Our next stop is just five minutes away from the secret cafe.In the old town of Rethymno, a Venetian mansion houses the workshop of Giorgos Hatziparashos,the last traditional phyllo master making ultra-thin phyllo pastry and kantaifi pastry. Just give it a try!

Up to this point, you will be fully informed about the history of our town all the monuments,that we have passed by and the secret local spots you should definitely visit. The end of the tour will be in front of the gates ofthe Fortezza castle where you will have time to wander around and get fascinated by the view. Due to the fact that the escort of this tour is not considered an official guide, it is forbidden to enter with you inside the castle. If our travelers wish to have an official guide we would be happy to book one upon communication.

Enjoy! (Tickets to Fortezza are not included in the price, 4 euro p/p)

Next stop on the menu, a small traditional kafeneio. This inomageirío (wine-and-cooking shop) in a less frequented part of the old town delights with an array of delicacies. Drink home made raki out o f a light bulb,palatable bulk wine – the dáfni has a claimed 2300-year history – or organic beer from the recommendable local Brink's microbrewery. Portions aren’t huge – the emphasis is on quality.
