Fabulous food tour with Maya! We were lucky enough to be the only people in our group, so had her all to ourselves. The food was great, especially the bougatsa which I could have eaten all day, and the herb shop was so interesting - lovely produce but also nice to hear about the process behind it. I’m regretting not having bought a bar of snail soap… Have to say that the best bit of it was talking with Maya, learning about what it’s like to live in Crete, the people, economics, politics, education, and we got to ask her all about what we were interested in because we were the only ones there. I suspect she would have been just as interesting talking about the weather, if that’s your thing. Gave us lots of food for thought, excuse the pun, and a real insight into the island. Thank you Maya. One of the highlights of our holiday and worth every penny, couldn’t recommend it more highly. P.S. do not eat breakfast beforehand!
