I am George Portokalakis a passionate about Cretan food and culture; And... I love to share this passion with everyone.
After spending over than 35 years in the travel industry and cooking business, I know what I love the best, is to being able to share my country, and its' food. I would tell anyone willing to listen about the wonders of Cretan VEGETARIAN cuisine, the relaxing nature of the Cretan people, share the delights of Cretan cuisine and culture with few people like you - people who appreciate good, fresh, natural and healthy cooking or just love to eat!
This vacation offers you the opportunity to enjoy the regional cuisine in Crete, as well as learn to prepare dishes from native farm house ladies and muster chefs.
You'll visit restaurants, taverns, local farm homes where you sample delicious dishes. We feed you like royalty, treat you to fine wine, tasty home made bread, green pies and teach you to make your way around the fresh food markets. Our cooking lessons last as much as needed – don’t follow any timing- and afterwards you enjoy the meal that was prepared.
In our tour you will travel comfortably and stay in comfortable, modern accommodation with distinctly Cretan flavour.
Indulge yourself for a week experiencing Crete's culture through taste.
