Meeting and sharing an experience with Mariana and Stella was a real treat. We were warmly welcomed and had a relaxing and informative afternoon, preparing and eating some amazing food. The farm tour was interesting and informative, and their passion for food is infectious. Thank you for thoughtfully preparing our cooking experience. Highly Recommend!

Me and my boyfriend did the combined tour and had the most amazing time. Marianna and Mama Stella was so incredible, giving us comprehensive and detailed instructions on how to cook as well as info about the cretan culture. They were so lovely and such a pleasure to hang out with. Couldn't recommend this experience any more highly if you want an authentic Cretan cooking experience with some great company and views :) We hope we will see them again! much love from Danielle and Ryan <3

Marianna and her mother were so kind!! I loved cooking with them. It was great learning how to make authentic Cretan food! And it was delicious! We even made and tried snails for the first time. Marianna got us out of our comfort zone and it was a positive surprise! Snails are actually quite delicious!! Who would’ve thought?! Haha. The evening was wonderful and we still talk and look back on a great activity we did in Crete! If you want to taste, but also make authentic delicious food? Book here!!! You won’t regret it!

We had such a great time on the food tour. The food tasted amazing and there was so much of it! Marianna even adjusted the time to meet our schedule which we definitely appreciated. It was a pleasure getting to know her and her mom. We would highly recommend it to everyone- couples, families, friends etc.

There were 5 of us on our visit inc a 10, 13 & 16 year old & we all really enjoyed it. You learn a lot about the Cretan way of life & how big agriculture is in the south. I’ve also never seen watermelons or pomegranates grow so that was also quite interesting! Marianna was lovely as were her grandparents, mum & dad. The picnic was really traditional & set in lovely surroundings & we watched her grandma make cheese, we then tasted it - enjoyed it more with their local honey! A lovely finishing touch was the gift bags that we each received as we left - a really superb tour & would happily try another. Thank you Marianne to you & your family

Awesome tour through the greenhouses and the olive groves. It gives you the opportunity to learn a lot about Cretan food and the local agricultural life. The picnic at the end was definitely the highlight of the tour, with really great traditional plates at a unique location. Marianna and her family were very kind and helpful. Totally worths a try :)

We had a fantastic tour through the monestary, olivegroves and greenhouses, and the tour concluded with a picnic located in the olivegroves during the beautiful sunset. A unique location! Marianna and her mother and grandmother prepared the best homecooked Greek food we ever tasted! Marianna and her family are the kindest people! Highly recommend this tour!!!

Booking with Cretan Vibes has been an amazing experience from start to finish. I spoke to Marianna many weeks before our trip to organise a surprise tour for my partners birthday. Marianna went out of her way to help us organise public transport to get to the village of Mires (as we were staying in Heesonissos), all the way down to collecting us from Moires square as we got off at the wrong stop 🙈 After a visit to the local monastery where we learnt a little history about the local village, we walked through the olive groves. During our walk, Marianna spoke to us about the process of making extra virgin olive oil. She then took us for a tour around the family greenhouses where we picked a melon to eat at our picnic. A little further along, a picnic had been set up for us under an olive tree, where Marianna's mum was cooking some traditional Cretan dishes. The whole family joined us, and grandma showed us how she makes her traditional homemade cheese. (It is amazing, I had to have two bowls) Unlike many other yours, this was a really laid back, rustic tour, where you get to see the real Crete and experience how the locals live. We couldn't think of a better way to end our holiday, and with some lovely people. Thank you so much Marianna & Family. X
