Brilliant - Fun experience going round the farm. Well laid out with well written info boards about all 10 exhibits. The traditional olive press was especially interesting and all the history and background to olive oil production was well delivered. I would recommend paying for the audio guide it is definitely worth the little extra it costs. I am genuinely educated now and far more knowledgeable about olive oil! And the opportunity to taste so many wonderful products! We spent two very happy hours here. Highly recommended !!

An unforgettable and must-do experience! - An unforgettable and must-do experience! I took part in the guided tour, which included an explanation of the olive oil production process, cheese making, and a cooking workshop. A wonderful introduction to the Cretan way of life. The staff is Nice and enjoys sharing their knowledge. Bonus: a pottery atelier and a shop where you can take home beautiful handmade creations along with local products! Thank you to the whole team!”

Perfect for a couple of hours out to see about the local Olive Oil history - Interesting, great products and amazingly friendly and knowledgeable staff. The tour was only €7 each and they were kind giving us free bottled water. The prices were cheaper than in the town of Agios Nikloas and the range of Olive Oil based products, locally sourced Honey and Raki was better too. A 30 min walk from the town centre with plenty of stops available for a drink or a bite should you want to take it easy too.

Fun little tourist trap - This was a fun little distraction to spend a couple hours on a rainy day. No need to book ahead for the self guided tour, just make sure they are open. You get to sample many things, and prices seemed reasonable for their olive oils and honeys. There was a pottery making class going on that looked really fun, not sure how you book that though.

A beautiful morning of discovery - We took the handset: discovery of the olive grove, cheese making and cooking class. A beautiful morning, a very nice welcome, with Aloisia "guide" in French. A very nice, welcoming, dynamic young woman, with clear explanations, anecdotes of the life of the ancient Cretans, reminders of some points of Greek mythology, a most complete visit. Meeting the shepherd, milking the biquette, cheese making was a great experience, and finishing with the cooking course (vine leaf, tzatziki, all watered with Raki 🤭) given by Despina, was just as nice. A little visit by the shop, to bring back some souvenirs. Thank you for this morning

Good day excursion from Agios Nikolaos - We did the farm tour and it was good. The farm was a little small but it gave a great insight into the ways of making olive oil throughout the years. There were also chickens, bunnies and goats at the farm. At the farm there was a big gift shop filled with different kinds of olive oil, pottery made at the shop, olives and different products from the farm and other local shops.
