A fantastic introduction to Cretan culture. - You can just rock up, pay a few euros and walk around various stations with a tablet to give you information. It was a brilliant introduction to Cretan culture. We learnt a lot about olive oil and it's production. We quite enjoyed watching Costas chasing a renegade goat! We enjoyed tasting all the products - so any to try and we couldn't resist buying some too.

Worth a visit - A really lovely experience! The tour guide was so knowledgeable and we learned new things about olive oil production and even carob. The tasting at the end was a highlight – olive oil, olives and honey, all delicious. The shop was very reasonably priced too, so excellent value. Highly recommend!

Worth a visit - We were very nicely received at the cash desk. There we booked our own tour with tablet (7 € per person).This was available in German. The whole tour includes 10 interesting stops. At one station it is about the production of the oil with an old press. A very nice, humorous employee takes time for this and explains the process. (Also in German if wanted) Finally, you can go to the shop. By the way, you can also pay without admission if you just want to buy something. It's definitely worth looking into. There are regional and farm products. The prices we personally found fair and reasonable. We were allowed to try everything and would not have had to buy anything if not wanted. But we are out with a big bag:) We would recommend the farm to anyone. We spent 2 wonderful hours there.

From start to finish a very friendly and informative visit. - A great experience. A very friendly welcome. Information content just right. Not too much and not too little. Also the mix between own explanation with tablet and explanation from a female employee were great. And finally, trying different oils etc. were very good. All in all a very successful visit. Thank you and best regards

Pleasant and interesting visit - Very nice place. We are provided with a tablet and the walk is free. Everything is well explained in French. We were greeted by a young girl who spoke very good French. She was very nice and professional. We had a great time.

Worth seeing - Interesting exhibition especially the explanations of olive oil, visit in the morning to recommend, in the afternoon probably sweltering hot.

Tourist and inauthentic - A rural situation near the sea to do something different with children, a tourist experience because that is what it is. We opted for the ten-step tour that takes place in the garden and courtyard of the farm. Everything seems a bit fake will also be for the dioramas or comuqnue of the puppets that try to reproduce the stories of peasant life, or for already explanatory posters and the tablet that accompanies you, but there is little “true”. You see a herbarium with aromatic plants, a small agave garden, a carob plant, a small chicken coop, an enclosure with two goats and a “hive” station but no real bees (these are reproductions); the focal point is the ancient oil press that, some tourist who buys the package dedicated to 65 € for an hour and a half of experience, can try to spin. Everything ends up in a shop with products to taste (oil, olives, honey and raki) and if you want then you can buy them at rather high prices, end. Children under 6 years old do not pay. Adults 7€. The tour is not worth the stop. I wouldn't do that again.

Disappointing visit - Extremely disappointing. Very small location. You get a tablet that you can use to watch video with explanations in 10 places. Brief explanation from employee about quality of olive oil (this was interesting). Within 45 we were outside. Tasting at the end was also meagre. There were products to taste, though. Olives, oil and honey. However, without any explanation or explanation. Biggest disappointment that there was nothing to see of process of pressing.
