As Crete is an island in the Mediterranean, the food here is typical of a Mediterranean diet. Think plenty of olive oil, tangy lemon juice, fresh fish, and seasoned chicken and lamb. You can sample lots of Cretan food by ordering a meze dish providing different flavours and tastes. But, in the larger towns in Crete, there’s definitely no shortage of international cuisine, either. So, if you’re travelling with kids or picky eaters, you don’t need to worry. There’s almost always something to appeal to everyone’s tastes.
