Back to newsA pair of Cretan grandmothers who previously went viral on social media are back with a new video, this time staging a lighthearted face-off between dakos, the beloved local rusk dish topped with tomato, feta, and olive oil, and sushi. The clip has been widely shared online and is drawing fresh attention to Cretan food culture. For visitors, it is a fun reminder to try dakos during their stay, a staple found on nearly every taverna menu across the island. Simple, affordable, and deeply tied to the Cretan Mediterranean diet, dakos makes an excellent introduction to local cuisine. The grandmothers' playful defense of their traditional food over Japanese fare reflects the pride Cretans take in their culinary heritage.
