Perfect For a Family of ADHD Kids LOL - Wonderful, quick little tour. And the food at the end was amazing. We will never eat our bread and oil the same again. Fresh oregano and thyme...grape syrup, salt, oh my. We enjoyed it. Thank you for the perfect little morning.

Don’t miss this! - Wonderfully informative tour of the olive grove and processing area. The setting is stunning in an agricultural area of Crete. The olive oil “tasting” afterward was much more than a snack. The array of breads, fresh fruit and vegetables, olives and cheese was more than generous. One of my favorite experiences on a tour of the Greek islands!

A little local gem! - Absolutely fantastic insight to a local working grove/milll. Whilst not a huge farm, the tour was really personal and informative- and a great way to learn about the process. This was followed by the most wonderful lunch of bread, meat, cheese, tomatoes, fruits and of course the beautiful fresh olive oil. Such good value for money- and a great way to spend 90 mins or so. Super friendly staff, even the shop is so reasonable and full of tasty produce (oils, olives, honey, herbs ) to take home.

A tour worth taking - Astounding experience, we had a short tour into the olive grove that led us to an overview of the whole mountain side. This view was breathtaking. Next we toured through the mill and got to learn about and see the machines that turn olives into olive oil. We ended the tour with an AMAZING snack which allowed us to taste their oils. Their gift shop had all the things we tasted and more for a very reasonable price.

Lovely visit to the heart of Cretan culture. - Fascinating tour of the olive orchards discussing the different olives and age of the different trees. Then a visit to the processing plant with explanation of how the whole process works. The lady who took us around was very knowledgeable and friendly. Finally a chance to sample the oil with some cheese, fruit, bread, hone, syrups, herbs and greek sweets. Whole visit took about 90 minutes. There is a small shop to buy the oils. Highly recommended and well worth the money.
