Best excursion I have been on - My wife and I took an olive oil tour but it was so much more. Apostolis our tour guide was incredible and gave us a tour to remember. We saw places in Crete that were off the beaten path and had the tour to ourselves. We were taken to an old fort on a hilltop and explained the history behind it. We then drive to a small olive oil processing plant that was not operational at the time but were guided through all the equipment required from start to finish. Then we were off to a private monastery were two monks resided and offered olives, bread, and some home make liquor. Afterward we drove to see the real 3000 year old olive tree in the middle of a field, it was amazing. We then sat at a little ramada in the middle of olive trees and Apostolis brought his own home grown oilive oil and bread for dipping. While enjoying this special treat a herd of about fifty goats ran past us that were herded by a livestock guard dog. Apostolis was a native of Crete and so knowledgeable about the history of this amazing and peaceful island. There was much more to the tour but these were the highlights. Our best excursion ever. Thank you Apostolis

Fabulous tour with Apostolis! - We have just returned from an amazing tour of towns, monasteries, olive đź«’ groves and a working olive oil refinery that included a generous tasting. We were awed by a 3000 year old olive tree, and nourished by lunch at a local taverna. All this and a day filled with new knowledge from our kind, university educated historian guide. We are so grateful to have found him and so sorry he is already booked up during our next free day. There is no better way to see Crete.
