Chania eats well, from bougatsa at dawn to grilled octopus by the water. These food walks lead you to the tables and market stalls locals actually use. Here is what you will taste on each, how many stops it makes, how long it runs, and what it costs to arrive hungry.

“This was one of the best foodie walking tours we’ve been on! Christoph was exceptional and made us feel very relaxed and welcome. He was very informative about the area and local produce. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves with our group. Thank you Christoph 😊”
A half-day Chania street-food walk with a private guide, Greek coffee, market tastings, raki, and Old Town sights.
“Informative, attentive, and delicious way to explore Chania, its history, culture, and food. Goldie was a terrific tour guide who was eager to share as much information as we wanted to learn about Chania, Crete, and its history. The food stops were delicious and very filling and we left feeling very full and satisfied. Good mix of tastings vs full meals as stops”

Chania at sunset with a sommelier-led wine tasting, raki nightcap, sheep-milk ice cream, and a 3-course organic dinner.
“OMG what a wonderful experience this was. Our guide Adonis, was theatrical, informative and very knowledgeable about Cretan history. The small group setting was a perfect way to feel attended to and pampered. The tour gave us a wonderful way to wonder through less travelled roads/alleyways that lay adjacent to the more touristy areas. And the food was fresh, inventive and delicious! Ending the tour with an island sunset punctuated the evening in the most delightful way. I recommend everyone who comes to Chania do this tour.”

Chania food tour in Crete: ancient olive tree, wood-oven bakery, honey and cheese, winery tasting, then Nopigia beach swim.
“Day trip was excellent, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and transport to and from each location a welcome relief from driving. The olive oil tasting and honey / bee history was very informative (host was so passionate about the process!) and delicious. Cheese and bread tasting also great. The one thing I wouldn’t go back for was the wine tour/tasting. It was a wine factory - a production line rather than speciality. By that I mean there were wines being produced by the 100,000 liters, yet the process of it was rudimentary and wines tasted both immature and depthless. The factory was incredibly dirty - by this I mean…”
Chania countryside food tour with hot-sand Greek coffee, sheep-milk ice cream, olive oil tastings, and two meals with local wines and raki.
“Possibly the best way to learn about a culture is to experience the food. Even better if it's away from the larger populations and fancy restaurants. I had an amazing day exploring parts of Crete I would not have otherwise discovered alone -- with much to learn from the amazing guide, Yannis. I was quite fortunate to be solo on this tour with Yannis -- outstanding person, who I now consider a friend. He will also gladly offer to take many photos of you and your surroundings with your phone :) Regarding the food and drink -- you'll love every bite and wish your stomach was bigger!”

“Incredible Tour. MC was awesome. She is very knowledgeable and kept it very fun. We travel a lot and we all agreed this was the best tour we have ever been on. Very small group so we got a lot of one on one time with the guide MC. Great beers with a great variety. The food was also excellent. Highly recommended”

“Very disappointed! The cooking was held in a very sterile apartment. There was nothing rustic about it. Some of the food mentioned in the program was not served or prepared by us or the host. The host was from Australia and had only been back in Crete a few months aRead more”
