Crete's Olive Culture

From The Fare Lady, a nice illustrated round-up of some growers and restaurants in Crete which go the distance in celebrating the local green goddess - the olive.

Chania Area - Tersanas - Zefiros

Enjoy horseback riding and a pool bar if the restaurant doesn't fill your needs. About 20 minutes from Chania.

Chania Dining

From Matt Barrett and his friend Niko, a trip through some of Chania's best dining bets, heavy on local specialties. It skips most of the "upscale" experiences, but I don't think you'll miss that very much.
