Crete's Culinary Sanctuaries (CCS) was founded in 1997 by Nikki Rose, a Greek-
American professional chef, graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, writer,
culinary seminar director, and responsible travel adviser for projects in Brazil,
Cambodia, Europe and USA.

CCS collaborates with over 40 small businesses and individuals working to protect
Crete’s cultural and natural heritage.  Seminars are conducted in rural communities,
organic farms and historic sites.  Attendees have an opportunity to discover
sustainable practices that can enrich their lives while supporting programs that help
preserve Crete's heritage.

CCS has received awards for Best Practices in Responsible Travel from National
Geographic, the World Tourism Forum for Peace and Sustainable Development, the
World Travel and Tourism Council, and is featured in major media outlets, including
National Geographic, National Public Radio, Heritage Radio Network, The New York
Times, Lonely Planet and TV New Zealand.
