I actually stayed in two hotels on Crete that could have been treated as an all-inclusive experience. However, I didn't opt to pay for those packages since I wanted to go out and explore. Unfortunately I don't know the name of either one and can't seem to track them down. In both instances we just paid for breakfast. There are A LOT of options on Crete where the hotel can be treated as an "all-inclusive" but the island is so fabulous I wouldn't want to do a full package like that.

I am interested in learning more about the food of Crete. Yes, I know I can go there and eat. But - I want to take things to the next level.
Do you know of a good tour or a good itinerary? I put together a bit of an itinerary in case I decide to do this myself. My preference is to take a good tour, though.
Chania Old Harbor: Thinking to get fresh seafood here - either at a market or in a restaurant. I recall that there's a lot of fresh seafood.
Heraklion Market: Wander through Heraklion's bustling market streets, where stalls overflow with local olive oils, cheeses, and herbs.
Culinary Classes: I am hoping to find a class to take!
Agreco Farms: Visiting this organic farm was a revelation in the importance of farm-to-table eating. This place looks so fun.
Wineries: There's a bunch. I want to track down at least a few during my stay.
