Foraging wild greens in Crete is more than just a tradition – it’s part of our culinary heritage!
From February to April, in collaboration with local associations, hands-on experiences are organised across various locations in the region of Chania.
Crete is home to one of the richest varieties of wild greens in the world, with over 120 species growing from the White Mountains to its coastal areas. For more than 2,500 years, these greens have been an essential part of Cretan cuisine, not just as a side salad, but as the stars of unique dishes.
If you are in the area during this period, this is the perfect opportunity to experience an authentic tradition and discover one of the treasures of the Cretan land!
