Kalyves

Our next stop will be at an olive oil mill, where we will discover everything there is to know about this staple of Greek life and tradition! We will look at how it’s cultivated and processed, its nutritional and health benefits, and its role in our everyday life and impact on our civilization. The olive tree is one of the most beloved and sacred trees since Ancient Greece, and is a deep part of our mythology. On Crete it is believed that 55% to 65% of all cultivated land is covered by olive groves, which hold approximately 30 million trees! After the tour, we will try different olive oils and learn how to identify the different qualities.

    This was definitely one of the top excursions my husband and I have ever done. Our guide, Maria, was fantastic and we really felt like with got to see/experience the local villages along with the historical sites. Maria was great about explaining the history and the culture of the area. All of our stops were fun and interesting!

  • A magnificent day in Chania and surrounding villages with Maria

    Maria is beyond amazing. We had a wonderful tour of Chania. The scenery and learning about the history was excellent. We saw a monastery, a fort, had a drink and treat in a local coffee shop, went to a museum of a traditional home, took a tour of an olive oil company and had a tasting, had a wonderful lunch and wine, tasting at a vineyard and saw downtown Chania. Maria could not have been more gracious. She brought us spinach pies and treats that her mother had baked. We got to see her little girls (het chickens). She has an amazing extended family and they all get together, which is wonderful. It was an excellent day and highly recommend.

  • Excellent Experience in Crete!

    What a fabulous chance of pace! We had a great tour through small villages in the interior of the island. Maria was a fantastic guide who took care of everything! Our trip to the fortress offered incredible views of Crete and the sea. Our trip to the winery included amazing food and wine, and a great tour of the cellar. We highly recommend this tour and Maria!

    What an amazing experience! Maria, our private tour guide, gave us a tour like we have never been on! She is so friendly and her knowledge of the Cretan history and culture was so impressive! The tour of the olive oil factory was so interesting as well as the tour of a typical Greek home. The monestary was a neat stop with rich history. We finished our tour at a local wine distillery and tasted several wines and finished with a gourmet Cretan dinner! So many opportunities for great photographs all along the way! Thank you Maria for making our day so special! Highly recommend!
