    We had a delightful time diving into Cretan cooking, especially enjoying the hands-on pasta-making lesson. The wine tasting was a highlight, but the venue felt a bit cramped during the peak hours, slightly affecting the overall ambiance.

    Exploring Cretan cuisine through hands-on cooking was a delightful experience for us, especially with the chance to taste some fantastic local wines. The only hiccup was a bit of a wait for transportation back to our hotel, but overall, we found it to be a memorable way to connect with the culture of Heraklion.
