Discover the most loved traditional food in Crete that later on, can be your favorite meal. Dig in!
Here are two of the dishes you should try when traveling to Heraklion, Crete. PS. Promise us you won't leave the town unless you've enjoyed these treats.
1. Dakos
Welcome to Crete. Where they serve the healthiest pizza for you. Salad pizza? That's the idea of it! But Cretans used barley rusk instead of the usual pizza crust. So this barley rust is from a dried bread baked multiple times and stored for months before it gets soaked in water (or olive oil), then served with fresh crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and goat's milk cheese. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper plus a drizzle of olive oil- BAM! This Dakos treat is for you!
2. Kaltsonia
Aside from having a palatable food walk in Heraklion market (cheese tasting), you should buy a piece (or a whole bag) of the Cretan Cheese Pie or locally known as the Kaltsonia. A hand-made dough shaped like a small cup stuffed with different treats such cheese: Malaka or Myzithra. The pie is then dipped to It's topped with a handful of honey to balance the saltiness of the pastry. Indeed, Kaltsonia is best served along Greek coffee. Perfect for a late afternoon delight!
