Overview

Our brewery is one of the few organised open breweries in Greece. Visitors can take a glimpse on the production area any time, while our restaurant is offering great variety of fresh dishes (vegetarian as well), prepared on an open-air kitchen. Our balcony is surrounded from orange and herbs scents that you only have to sit back and relax in the middle of cretan natural landscape. Check our reviews from other visitors and combine a hike or bike tour to the picturesque surroundings, or on your return from Balos, Elafonisi and Paleochora. All our beers are fresh, which means without conservatives and unpasteurised.

Note: We apologize for any inconvenience found in our facilities. We are finalizing an expansion project started this winter.

Stop At: Visit Cretan Brewery, Zounaki Village near Platanias, Platanias, Crete 73002 Greece

Our staff will guide you through the brewing process and show you our state-of-the-art environmental-friendly and operationally clean brewery, in a special created space, where you can experience how and where our hand-crafted beer is created. On brewing days, a hoppy fragrance fills the rooms – and you are right in the midst of the process of hand-crafted beer production. You will learn about the success story of the first beer of Chania and why Charma is so preferred among other beers. A beer tasting of 4 samples will follow in our open-space terrace with view over olive groves and orange trees, accompanied with traditional bread sticks.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

We greatly enjoy Xarma beer, so as we were staying nearby, decided to take the brewery tour. On arrival, there were very few people there except staff. After a while, around 11AM, others arrived and the tour guide, Antigone, started explaining about the ingredients in beer, showed everyone (and let them smell and taste) the ingredients and how each works to flavor beer. After this, she took everyone to the viewing area and explained the entire brewing process as well as the steps the Brewery takes to be sustainable and also protect the environment. It was really fascinating. Then we went to the covered patio for our five-beer flight of Xarma beers — Lager, Pale Ale, Dunkel, Weiss and another I cannot remember! Visitors can also purchase food, which we did, and it was fantastic ... we had meatballs with spicy cheese sauce, a pork steak, fried potatoes ... everything was delicious. Afterward, we were able to go to the store and purchased tee and polo shirts with the Xarma logo of the KriKri horns as a great memory! I would very highly recommend this tour for lovers of beer and, especially lovers of Xarma bee. For €8, it was a bargain and Antigone was really charming and informative!

€8 beer tasting tour A good couple of hours spent on the tour, tasting and chatting with friends. Only 6 people on our session and the guide was very knowledgeable, it was quite quick then down to the tasting. Again the guide discussed the four beers discribing the flavours, this was leisurely allowing us to relax on the sun while savouring the beers. Extremely reasonable for the money. I recommend the tour.

The brewery is really small, but the staff is super kind. The brewery tour is not a proper tour as it is not possible to get inside where the beer is actually produced, but from outside you can see almost all the production steps that were really kindly illustrated and explained by our tour guide. All the six beer produced are available for the tasting, which is also really nice (we recommend to have a portions of wedges and tzatziki dip with it, they are simply too good!) and you can enjoy it sitting on a terrace in the middle of their avocado trees. It was a really nice experience.
