Kapriko

Kapriko is more than just a dish - it’s a time-honored technique of roasting pork from a male boar, infusing it with rich, smoky flavors. This culinary tradition is particularly cherished in Heraklion, with the village of Galatas celebrating it every year during the "Kapriko Festival" on the first weekend of July. The slow-roasting process ensures the meat is tender and flavorful, making Kapriko a highlight of Cretan gastronomy and a must-try for food enthusiasts.
