I would definitely visit the Knossos Palace, and also the Archaeological Museum in Heraklion. Many of the artifacts found throughout the island are housed in the museum. Here's a pic of part of the palace:

The Heraklion Archeological Museum is great! There’s actual physical ruins outside that you can visit and there’s a museum with artifacts as well. That was my favorite part. It was pretty hot outside so we were going back and forth from the outside ruins to the inside lol.

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.
