Petro is an amazing Tour Guide with a visit in an Olive Mill and Winery - This countryside tour with our amazing tour guide Petro offered us a special day on the Olive Mill and the Winery where the experience of tasting such a great variety of wines and seeing the procedure of the olive oil production was by far the best time we had in Chania. We totally recommend Petro who has a beautiful North Carolinian Southern accent and of course he is fluent in English!

Unique tasting experience and a fun tour on the Cretan Countryside - This tour comprised a Winery and Olive Oil Mill experience and we had the chance to do a wide range of tasting and see the whole production process from the scratch. Petro made this tour so easy for us with his great driving and his tremendous knowledge of English. He has studied in the States so that made him more approachable to us. Totally recommend!
