THE CRETAN TABLE — A True Taste of Crete

Experience Crete around your own table. The Cretan Table is a generous sharing experience inspired by the way we eat and welcome guests on the island — slowly, together, and with plenty of dishes in the middle of the table. Chef Dimitris brings the flavours of Crete directly to your villa, combining seasonal produce, local cheeses, extra virgin olive oil, aromatic herbs and traditional recipes with a refined private-chef presentation. From the first mezze to the main dish and a classic Cretan dessert, everything is designed to be shared, discovered and enjoyed together. The exact menu may evolve with the season and can be adapted to your group, because the best Cretan table is never exactly the same twice.- FROM THE ISLAND- WELCOME TO CRETE- THE FIRST TABLE — MEZE TO SHARE- THE FIRST TABLE — MEZE TO SHARE- THE FIRST TABLE — MEZE TO SHARE- FROM THE ISLAND- THE CENTREPIECE- SIDES FOR THE TABLE- SIDES FOR THE TABLE- SWEET ENDING
