Part 7/8:
Completing a journey through Rethymno's rich heritage, one cannot overlook the artistry of traditional pastry-making. Yigo, one of the last traditional pastry masters in the area, has been crafting exquisite felo pastries since World War II. His family-run business emphasizes nostalgia and craftsmanship, producing beloved sweets such as baklava, rich in honey and nuts.
The skillful preparation of these pastries captures the essence of Cretan culinary traditions while conveying the collective heritage of the island. A taste of the crispy, sweet baklava illustrates why these pastries are so cherished, not only for their flavor but for the stories they carry.
