  • Thinking of skipping Crete? Think again, because I'm going to show you the best kept secret in all of Greece, the island of Crete!! In the video, you will see WHAT TO EAT and WHERE TO EAT in Crete, including a visit to some of the island's best wineries for the ultimate Greek island food and wine tour. For breakfast, I'll take you to the best espresso bar in Heraklion, the capital city of Crete. From there, I'll take you to Douloufakis winery in the mountaintop village of Dafnes for a wine tasting and lunch in the vineyard. For dinner, I'll take you to a local taverna for the BEST slow-food dinner in Greece. Then, I'll take you across the island to Chania where we will go off-roading through the famous Manousakis vineyard all the way to the top of the mountain for the most beautiful panoramic view of the island, followed by a wine tasting and Greek taverna-style lunch. We'll then head to dinner at the island's most famous restaurant, Salis. To end our trip to Crete, I'll take you to the world famous Balos Beach, rated among the top 25 best beaches in the world. Fasten your seatbelt and bring your appetite....we're going on a hard core food tour of Crete Greece!!

    Greek food is divine. Greece has truly the most perfect exceptional ingredients and heavenly dishes. If you have heavenly dishes made up of these ingredients you have simply out of this world level food. And I am not lying. Even just something simple as lambs or goats or other animals. While they eat dry foods or grasses all over the world, Greece is the herb garden of Europe, with 80% mountains with an exceptionally high biodiversity and among which large mountains overfilled with herbs. ALL these animals wander around all across in Greece and they eat these herbs. Not only do these animals have an incredible life, but they eat the most healthy exceptional ingredients. And THAT is the meat that you eat. Unmatched meat quality and taste bar none.

    I’m sorry to say that you did NOT eat a single traditional Cretan dish on your food tour. You really missed the mark with this video. I’m sure a lot of cretans are disappointed by the way you portrayed everything food related. Better luck next time I guess.

    • @EuroTrotter
      @EuroTrotter  2 роки тому +3

      I guess a return trip is in order, I can think of worse things. Now my advice, these are Cretan businesses and Cretans, working hard to share what they do with the rest of the world, try to show some love and support towards them, it’s been a rough year for everyone.

    I have to say that I nearly stopped the video halfway through, because it seemed as if I was watching a long food commercial. I cringed through the infomercial, and enjoyed seeing Balos beach near the end.
    My 2 cents.

I remember our very own nice beaches in the Philippines with aquamarine, turquoise waters with powdery soft, white sands in Boracay, Aklan; El Nido and Coron in Palawan; Malapascua Island in Cebu; Panglao Island in Bohol; Cloud 9 area for international & local surfers in Siargao Island.

    Everything looks amazing and worth the travel. For travelers staying at hotels or airBnB, how is transportation around the island if needing to go 45-75 minutes? Taxi, Uber, BOLT, buses, etc... maybe they have a specific one if available. I know many places are different and I will be traveling to Crete May - June, and other islands so something I should start to look into.

      Crete is a big island,and although you can travel by bus or by boats, I think your best option will be to rent a car ! ( you will have the freedom to go to places that otherwise you wouldn’t be able to reach) . Just make sure that you are holding international driving licens !
