The health benefits of the Cretan Diet and the longevity of its inhabitants have long been documented and made known around the world. Although tourism is one of Crete’s mainstays, the island was largely an agricultural community and even today, has significant exports of market and dairy produce, fruit, olive oil and wine. This bounty of the land and sea has resulted in a local cuisine that is truly unique even within the realm of Greece.
Located on the eastern shores of Crete’s Mirabello Bay, the once-quiet fishing village of Elounda has grown over the last few decades into one of Greece’s premier destinations and today boasts a plethora of luxury resorts and hotels. From the busy port town of Agios Nikolaos head north along the scenic coastal road to the Porto Elounda Resort.
Start the day at this prestigious resort with some free time to swim and relax on its exclusive beach.
Later, the maitre d’hotel of one of the resort’s premier restaurants and the day’s host, will introduce guests to the secrets of Crete’s culinary highlights and then at the Chef’s Table will offer a delectable lunch with perfect wine pairings in this idyllic setting.
