If you do nothing else whilst in Crete, make sure you book this trip. My husband and I have been on many holiday excursions.....but this one surpassed them all. For a day we felt like residents of Vatos and saw how the villagers live. Vatos is only a small village, with only12 residents at the time of our visit, but the locals have big hearts. Everyone we met were so welcoming and hospitable. We had a brilliant driver, who collected us promptly from our hotel and pointed out many attractions on route. We loved the bread making experience and were very proud of the loaves we helped produce. After baking we were treated to Greek coffee, walnuts and chocolate covered walnuts. Then we were taken a few doors down and enjoyed a magnificent meal, again being welcomed into the home of a local villager. The food was exceptional and kept on coming, so ensure you have a healthy appetite! It was great to be treated to local dishes and learn about life in Vatos. We were genuinely treated like friends and my husband and I will treasure this memory, which was definitely the highlight of our holiday!
