Dining is a soulful journeylocal culture. From modern Greek dishes at Anthós to seaside meals at Blue Door Taverna, every bite tells a story. Guests can harvest ingredients at the Phāea Farmers Feast or enjoy private dinners under the stars—each experience rooted in nature and connection.
We craft moments that become memories. From sunset cruises to authentic Cretan feasts, every experience honors the island’s spirit. Guided by kindness and a love for place and people, we don’t justitineraries, we bring dreams to life.
