Im planning on visiting the whole island, so which is the best airport to fly into? Does it just depend on where I want to start my trip?

The 2 bigger airports on the island of Crete, Greece are Heraklion International Airport and Chania International Airport. There is a smaller, regional airport in Sitia Crete as well.
To answer your question it depends if you are coming in from another Greek island or international then I would stick with the more main larger airports.

I would personally fly into Heraklion because there is a lot to do in that area. You can always make your way to Chania later on the trip. Since Heraklion is the larger airport, there ear more options for flights.

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.
