Kelly is a food enthusiast, who could talk about food and travel all day! She is of Cretan heritage, but was born and brought up in Australia. Greece is very close to her heart and through this food tour she would like to share more about Greek history and culture through its food. This is a guided walking food tour of Chania, the beautiful port town on the north west coast of Crete. Join this tour to learn about the Cretan food and culture as a local not a tourist.
Please note menu might vary. If there are particular dishes you are interested in trying, please include your request in the booking form.
