The 5 Best Buffet Experiences in Crete

1.Traditional Dance Show and Buffet Dinner with Wine

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 102 reviews · 3 - 8 hours · from $34Our pick

A traditional Cretan village dance show with a Mediterranean buffet and unlimited wine and water, with optional pickup and drop-off on Crete.

“Was disappointed in the food! It was pasta and potatoes mostly and not greek dishes as promised. There was tzatziki and greek salad but everything else basic and boring not greek. The dancing was ok but not as good as the other village i went to. They had guests get up on stage but the dancers were not there so people mostly did their own thing and was mass confusion on the tiny stage. People kept stepping on my feet. Thumbs down overall.”

2.Greek Night with Buffet Dinner and Plate Smashing

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 42 reviews · from $42Top rated

Cretan buffet, beer and wine tasting, and plate smashing with a dance lesson in Kissamos. 15.3 m table, 4 hours.

“Yesterday was such a beautiful, special night! First we started with a local beer/wine tasting. This was very interesting. After the beer tasting there was a huge buffet with local food. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Unfortunately my belly was full after 4 plates, if it was possible I would ate 10 plates. After the delicious food, we started to dance. Two lovely girls learned us how to dance a local dance. It was so much fun! During the dance we threw some plates on the ground. For me it was very hard to find an experience like this, but I’m very happy that I found it here at The Greek Cook…”

Kissamos Greek Night blends a 6 pm Cretan beer and wine tasting, buffet dinner, plate smashing, and dance lessons in a church-lit courtyard.

5.From Heraklion & Malia: Cretan Folklore Night with Buffet

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 6 reviews · from $33Best value

Cretan folklore night in Karouzana near Heraklion with buffet dinner, local wine, Cretan Lyra music, folk dancing, plus pickup.

“The evening was very enjoyable. Loved hearing the music and seeing the dances from different areas of Greece. Food and wine were delicious and plentiful. Downside to the event was how long it took to get there. My ride was a total of 2.5 hours. I was solo. So with others I'm assuming it would not have felt so long.”
