Food in Crete Island (Greece) is so fresh and varied that you'll want to try many traditional dishes before you leave this beautiful island. Its ancient roots are not forgotten here and food is still prepared as their ancestors did.
The land in Crete is extremely fertile and the locals prefer growing their own vegetables, animals and herbs. They use crop rotation and enrich the soil organically. Also, they refrain from feeding concentrated foods to their animals.
They love consuming everything fresh and rarely buy imported food. There are still many taverns, especially in the villages, passed from generation to generation, where tourists can try the original cooking style in Crete.
I was overwhelmed by the taste of this island's dishes, by the variety of both vegetarian and meat dishes and by the warmth of the people. I admire their respect for nature and old traditions!
It was Crete that inspired the researches to find out more about their diet, as Cretans are healthier and live longer lives. They discovered that the freshness of the products they consume, together with the varied types of foods they prepare, make Cretan food so healthy and beneficial.
These studies opened the way for the Mediterranean diet, which includes now dishes from all Mediterranean countries.
At the end of the video, there are some tips that I have for your first visit to Crete ;)
Enjoy your visit to this beautiful island! There are sooooo many amazing dishes to try and beautiful places to visit in Crete.
