Great way to spend an afternoon! - I learned a lot about olive oil production during the tour. Elena was very knowledgeable and a great hostess. I liked the experience so much that I returned the next day for the cooking class. Maria was an excellent teacher, and Kiara was a very helpful translator. Together we made a beautiful and tasty traditional meal. Will do this again when I next visit Crete!

Visit and tasting - We had a great time. Family farm, on a human scale. Visit and explanations of the harvest and the oil extraction process in French, a real plus. We then made a tasting. And we were lucky enough to be able to eat on site with local products. A pure moment of sharing and conviviality. Thank you again.

EVOO tasting - Learned how to taste olive oil and identify EVOO. Then we tasted several different blended not infused flavors. It was a small group and were encouraged to ask questions.

Fun and interesting short tour, would recommend - We had a great tour even with windy weather; our guide was very accommodating and helpful with our two young children. The tour was very interesting and the olive oil tasting fun. The location was beautiful and close to Heraklion. Would recommend.

I must visit educational attraction - Well this had to be one of the highlights of all the attractions we visited. The tour was hosted by Elena. Elena was perfect for this job. She was entusiastic, passionate and extremely knowledgeable about olive farming and milling. With traditional Cretan milling processes that produced the most amazing organic extra virgin olive oil, flavoured olive oil and petimezi. What a great experience and one we shall remember for many years. Thank you so much. Rita x
