Boundless delights for the palate: Crete's traditional cuisine and culinary insider tips
«The sun slowly rises, spreading all the colours of the dawn across the heretofore unrecognisable border between sea and sky. A light sea breeze caresses my face and whispers in my ears: 'You are at home here'. Oh, if only we could enjoy our breakfast like this every day!»
The Greek Mediterranean island of Crete is a real insider tip in culinary terms. In addition to excellent star cuisine with unique upscale food creations and the well-known Greek classics, such as baked feta, souflaki and moussaka, you can experience an incomparable and individual variety of flavours on the island.
Cretan cuisine stands out in its own way from that of mainland Greece and also differs from the cooking on other Greek islands. At the same time, the dishes are much more digestible and in no way comparable to the menus of Greek restaurants abroad.
It is not only the way they are prepared, but also the high quality of the individual ingredients that makes traditional Cretan dishes so unique.
