Taste Crete: Learn to Make Dakos, Gemista, and Tzatziki

Cretan cuisine is a celebration of fresh ingredients and bold flavors. Dishes like dakos, a barley rusk topped with tomato, myzithra, and olive oil, capture the essence of the island’s culinary identity.

Another favorite is gemista—stuffed vegetables bursting with herbs, rice, and occasionally meat. This dish is a feast for the senses, combining aroma, color, and taste in every bite. And, of course, there’s tzatziki, the refreshing yogurt-based dip that complements every meal.
