Today we’re going on a Cretan food road trip across the best island for food in all of Greece. We’ll be stopping along the way in the town of Vyrses to taste authentic Greek yogurt before continuing to the port town of Rethymnon. Here we visit a master in his element making phylo dough to make baklava. Traditions remain unchanged in this hidden baklava factory. After the baklava it’s off to Stella’s kitchen for the best plate of Cretan food anywhere in town. Finishing off in Rethymnon we make our way to Stalida bay to meet up with our new friends Angela and Mike. Their hospitality made our trip to Crete unforgettable, and don’t get me started on that lamb!!!

bro you dont put yogurt on spanakopita m8
Best food of this world in terms of quality and natural ingredients can be found in crete.-
watching him eat pastichio while waiting for my pastichio to get cooked lol
U din try the chicken what a disappointment
I grew up in a town with a decent sozed Greek population, and Greek food was always a special treat as a child.
In college I went to a place and just wanted a gyro for lunch, and they pushed the pastitsio special that day on me, hard. I said yes and got treated like a grandkid that day. She brought the plates out to the table with a flourish and I had the feeling I better eat it all or I'd be in trouble lol
It wasn't what I wanted but it was so good. That touch of nutmeg in the bechamel was really nice 😊 Still remember it.
Did you change your girlfriend?
Oregano on grilled meet is so heavenly
The “clean water” at Vrisses has nothing to do with the yogurt 😂
OMG it is like the food welcomes you and hugs you
Please, the wonderful food of Crete must be named and described in it's Greek name. Coming from an American who spent 2 years there I always tried to speak the vast, beautful Greek language.
names and adresses would be nice
Luke beautiful videos but you have to name the city like chania,rethymnon etc plus the name of the village is unknown
Please next time take a Pic of the restaurant name
Thank you
The dishes are great, they look delicious. Just one little thing, the taster doesn't know how to use cutlery, especially a knife🙈
Your girlfriend needs to button up her shirt while visiting any church, monastery or holy site with priests and monastics present out of respect please. In Greece it is disrespectful to show the tummy at these places, wear shorts or have bare arms etc.
Spinach and rice or spanakorizo, is also a favorite of mine and my children i cook it often and i love it. Thank you for your beautiful video of our island.
In the end,this was fresh thyme ,not oregano. 🙂
Greeks are very hospitable by tradition. Touristy places are not the same for sure, but I remember my mom always kept the good stuff for the visitors and we weren't allowed to touch them. We were poor but always had the best food for visitors.
You are always Welcome in ΕΛΛΑΣ brother! 🇬🇷👍🏻
Everything very nice but the perception of what is Greek music…
Everything looks so delicious! Every country has their own cuisine and culture. I enjoy your YouTubes because you are humble and always respectful of the countries culture and cuisines. You have a good every day!
Please don’t say Lazania/ cuddles .They are makaroni in the oven OR pastitsio,,pleeese
You are identical to the italian youtuber Marcello Ascani!!!

Been visiting Crete for 20 years, the Cretan hospitality & food is wonderful. Kleftiko (lamb) is probably my favourite dish.
