Cretan Diet: The healthiest nutritional model on the planet

Crete is the birthplace of what nowadays the whole world refers to as the Mediterranean Diet, an extremely healthy eating plan.

The island is blessed, as it consists of a vast number of olive trees (30-40 million).
The local people have managed to grow a remarkable culinary tradition, as their diet has been depended almost exclusively on the local agriculture production.

Don’t miss popular Cretan dishes as  Fried Snails, “Hortopita” (prepared using a combination of wild greens), Dakos (Cretan salad), “Apakia” (smoked pork), “Antikristo” (lamb cooked in a special way), “Sfakiani pita” (fried pie with salty cheese and honey on top) and of course “Tsikoudia” the Cretan brandy.

The Cretan Diet is not what just people eat but the way they live their lives and cultivate and this is what we invite you to discover in Crete.
