FOOD ODYSSEY
It begins with a light breakfast and unforgettable Cretan beverage but since Arabs, Jews, Venetians, Ottomans, Greeks from Asia Minor and immigrants have passed through Κhania, adding their flavors to the local cuisine, we will follow their trail. Therefore, we will experience a multisensory food event and delectable delicacies from one-of-a-kind specialty food shops while enjoying the opportunity to understand better the culinary history of the city and how the locals eat.
Our walk ends with a dive into the distant past. We will visit the the archaeological site of Kastelli or/and the archaeological museum of Chania to view selected cooking vessels and to experience them more in depth. We will then visit a ceramic workshop or a local taverna, where we will have a chance to enjoy a short lesson in ancient cooking and we will be treated to home-baked bread -made according to ancient baking method- and other fine delicacies of historic Cretan and Greek gastronomy.

SENSING CRETE THROUGH TASTE, SMELL AND TOUCH
The warm smell of baking bread blends with the aroma of freshly roasted coffee beans, the sweet scent of cinammon on cheese -pastries, the flavor rising from cups of herbal tea, the flower fragrances, the urban smells, the taste of historical and traditional foods and the perception of Chania through the sense of touch.
As we smell, taste, touch and walk we'll try to understand the food culture of Crete through a series of foods and histories that link it to food fashion, migration, power structures, economic imbalances, and culinary propaganda.
