Balos Lagoon is a great option

If you want to do something adventurous together, consider hiking the Samaria Gorge. After the hike, I would reserve time to spend at the village at the end... The beach at that village ended up being one of my favorites, it had gorgeous, black sand. Village is called Agia Roumeli. The gorge hike is no joke, though - it's totally downhill until you get to the gorge. You need plenty of water, and your knees need to be in decent condition. If you are in moderately good shape, though, you can pull it off. The views are stunning. the beach is fantastic. There's a guest house, you can even spend the night at the village. Once the tourists from the hike clear out, the village is pretty quiet and romantic. Also, consider buying honey in the village - some of the best Greek honey I have ever had.

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.
