Houdetsi Festival is probably one of the best ways to experience Crete!

Visiting Houdetsi festival is like experiencing the Cretan culture, people and food in almost distilled, condensed and pure way and as authentic and genuine as it can get. Here are 3 main reasons...

Having so many taverns per sqm as in Crete, you'd never see people queuing to get the seat. Well, here you go! 'David' is never breaking a tradition of serving super delicious local mezedakia dishes and (what is not less important) for amazingly competitive prices! The lasting tradition of family business! A true gem and we resist not visiting it every single evening (it is really not an ad;)

This cute hand-made & hand-filled flask with local raki comes from the Easter market in Arvi, a village in South of Crete at the Lybian Sea! Should be saved up for the Easter day meal - perfect for washing down the grilled lamb :)

Soft and mellow, full of plum fragrances, the fleshy local wine variety of Kotsifali can be described as the Cretan equivalent of Merlot.

Beautiful Samaria gorge opens tomorrow, 10 April. Limited path, only from the village of Agia Roumeli for the time being. Are you ready for a good hike? :)

There is a kind of flame in Crete - let us call it "soul" - something more powerful than either life or death. There is pride, obstinacy, valor, and together with these something else, inexpressible and imponderable, something which makes you rejoice that you are a human being, and at the same time tremble...

Υπάρχει και κάτι άλλο στην Κρήτη, υπάρχει κάποια φλόγα -ας την πούμε ψυχή -κάτι πιο πάνω από τη ζωή κι από το θάνατο, που είναι δύσκολο να το ορίσεις, δηλαδή, να το περιορίσεις. Υπάρχει αυτή η περηφάνεια, το πείσμα, η παλικαριά, η αψηφισιά και μαζί τους κάτι άλλο, ανέκφραστο κι αστάθμητο, που σε κάνει να χαίρεσαι που είσαι άνθρωπος...

While the rest of the Europe is cold and snowy, Crete enjoys sun and warm weather - a paradise on Earth! This secret garden is one of the best countryside luncheon places yet close to Heraklion.

This painting in a tavern reminds of the powerful history and traditions of Anogia that are well remembered. Nowadays excellent food, mountain-fresh air, local Raki and hospitality are the absolute trademarks of this village. An invitation that is difficult to turn down.
