    Travelers will be able to see in the old town of Rethymno, a Venetian mansion of 17th century where is Giorgos Chatziparaschos traditional philo Atelier, the oldest of its kind for making ''kantaifi'' and ''baklava'' philo for 65 years now. While the ingredients are simple - flour, water and some salt - the proportions according to Hatziparaschos took years of testing. Traditional philo is an essential ingredient for traditional syrupy sweets dipped in honey, such as kadaifi and baklava. If you are lucky, you will watch the master on the job. A fluid mixture falls into a special machine at the back room that butter aromas are spreading in space and a hot copper pan doesn't stop turning. Above the flames, hundreds of thin and baked strings of kadaifi are created. Sprinkled with the right balance of cinnamon and chopped walnuts, kadaifi is one of the most favorite sweets.

We had an amazing experience with Michael on our tour of Rethmyno. The weather didn’t exactly cooperate during our tour, but Michael was unflappable and found an additional stop for us to take to escape the fast forming rain shower that flooded the streets. Our tour was intentionally kept small, which was appreciated, as it provided a more personalized experience. The tour description was spot on, but we found out that the tour is constantly evolving based on feedback to further improve the customer experience. We appreciated the small town and small business feel with the tour and loved that all of the locals seemed to know Michael. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in history, good food, and good conversation!
