Crete is a special place where food tells you about its culture and history. Olive oil is very important here. It makes every dish, even salads, taste amazing. When you walk around, you’ll smell gyros and souvlaki from street vendors. These are not just quick eats; they are a tasty part of Crete’s food culture, easy to hold in your hand and full of flavor with meat, veggies, and a cool sauce called tzatziki.

There are also traditional dishes that people in Crete have been making for a long time. Moussaka is one popular dish. It has layers of eggplant, potatoes, and meat, all covered with a creamy sauce. Then, there’s dakos, a simple snack with hard bread, tomatoes, cheese, and olive oil. And you can’t forget about the rich stews with beans and other fresh ingredients from the island.
