The Region of Crete, on the occasion of its designation as the European Region of Gastronomy 2026, is proceeding with the drafting of an Operational Plan for the Cretan Food Culture 2026–2030.
The participatory process is considered a key parameter of the plan and for this reason, the Region invites you to take part in the online consultation and submit your views, ideas and suggestions.
Through the consultation, it is sought to give a voice to the people of Crete in order to collectively shape a plan that will highlight the authenticity, history and value of Cretan food as a lever for sustainable development for Crete.
Take some time and become part of the common effort that concerns the future of the food culture of Crete.
