Overview of your Heraklion tour:

I am an unapologetic gourmand. Sometimes food is the inspirational part of the craft of my adventures. That is why I traveled to Crete's Lassithi Plateau to search for the rare Cretan black truffle - and learned how to cook them with brilliant local chefs. Now you can do the same. I have designed this unforgettable trip to submerge you into an authentic way of life in one of the island's most beautiful regions while gaining a deeper understanding of the relationship between recipes, people, and traditions. This is the land of emotions and the art of planning two great loves: travel and food.
