Additional Information

This is an exclusive journey with a 7-seater vehicle, accommodating up to 6 guests. The initial indications of wine and olive oil in Crete can be traced back to 5000BC during the era of the Minoan civilization. Even after 7000 years, Cretans still cultivate wine, beer, and olive oil on the same land, with the primary differences being the advancements in technology that have improved production methods and crop yields! During this tour, we will explore a winery, a beer facility, and an olive oil factory. These places uphold stringent production norms, balancing age-old customs and modern technology. At each site, we will spend roughly an hour touring the premises and partake in a tasting tour! We’ll savor lunch at a local eatery and make a visit to a Monastery from the 13th century or the Maleme Airfield and its associated WW2 Military Cemetery.

Very well looked after. - I enjoyed my talk very much. My guide was easy to talk to and happy to answer any questions I had about Greece. he even went to the trouble of getting me some grapes from the vine and figs from the trees, and they proved to be delicious!
