Thanks for sharing the video! The music on Crete is amazing - and it is possible to bump into live music all the time. I was once at a restaurant, and some of the owners' children came out with their instruments and sat at our table and started playing. It was a really neat moment. They just play their instruments on a whim sometimes.

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.

I’m planning a trip to the enchanting old town of Chania and I’ve heard so much about its rich history and vibrant culture. With so many intriguing options, I find myself grappling with where to begin and how to prioritize my time effectively.
For those who have experience of Chania—what would you say should be at the top of my list?
My interests range broadly, from historical landmarks, museums, and art galleries, to culinary delights and local crafts. I’m particularly fascinated by the blend of architectural styles and cultural influences evident in Chania.
Thanks in advance!
