We had a great time learning about Olive tree plantations and the trees themselves. Highly highly recommend this tour.

This is the BEST tour we have had in years! TOP of the line! Yani picked us up at the hotel as part of the tour, transfers were included. He took us to a small family owned Olive farm KLEANTHI where they produce, press and bottle the most delicious Olive oil we have ever tried. Then we went to TITAKIS winery where Andrea took us to a tour of the plant followed by an impressive tasting of their wines. There are 11 grape varieties than only grows in Crete, 8 of them white. I had never enjoyed white wine before, Titakis made me a fan! We ended up in a nearby village for lunch at a family owned Taverna where we enjoyed the best Musaka and Braised Lamb with their local spirits. What a wonderful tour. Thank You YANIS for your time and sharing your beautiful country with us. Hope to be back soon!

Fabulous day from start to finish. Driver Alexander was great. Olive mill visit was beyond expectations. Given a huge platter of cheeses, fruits and breads to try with their olive oil. The wine tour with Irena was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humour. Generous wine tasting of some really nice wines. The lunch at a family run restaurant was superb, again mountains of delicious food, served by the owner and his young waiter who were both so welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our day

Picked up in nice air conditioned car and driven by Alexander who was really friendly and professional. There was just us so a nice private tour. The olive tour was great, we were given a tour and talk then sat with olive oil, herbs, honey, cheese, bread, fruits and of course olives. It was a great big platter and delicious. I’d read a review saying no food until the lunch, absolutely not the case for us. Next onto the wine tasting with Irena, she was really engaging, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour. The wines were good and plentiful, again with some olives, tomatoes, bread sticks and cheese. Then to the local family run restaurant which was fabulous. Superb host and his young waiter from the village, so welcoming. The food was delicious and loads of it served with a nice house wine. Perfect…. With such food and wine on board poor Alexander had to put up with us snoring all the way back !! Definitely recommend this trip, do not be put off by the price it is worth every Penny.
