What To Expect

1

Our first stop is visiting an old family olive oil factory. You see firsthand the modern techniques and equipment used alongside traditional methods passed down through generations. As you explore the factory, you have the opportunity to taste the fruits of this labor – rich, golden olive oil freshly pressed from the harvest. Each sip is a revelation, a burst of flavor that transports you to the sun-drenched hillsides where the olives were grown. But beyond the sensory experience, visiting an olive oil factory in Crete offers a deeper understanding of the island's culture and heritage. Olive oil is not just a culinary staple here; it is a symbol of life itself, revered for its health benefits and intrinsic connection to the land. As you bid farewell to the factory, you carry with you not just a bottle of olive oil, but a piece of Crete's soul – a tangible reminder of the timeless bond between this ancient land and its most precious fruit.

    This was an absolutely amazing experience. Spyros gave us a tour we will definitely remember for a long while. We spent 9 hours together that were fun, informative and very memorable. Spyros treated us like family and gave us a day visiting an olive factory, the Knossos Palace, a pottery studio and many more personal touches. Picking strawberries to taste with local yogurt while sipping Greek wine, to visiting a local Cafe for coffee and homemade baked goods to enjoying a delicious lunch together were just a few ways he went above and beyond to give us the best day. We wiould definitely recommend this company and the tour to our friends and family and anyone wishing to spend the best day in Crete. Again, thank you Spyros, from the New Jersey crew.

    One of our favorite experiences in Greece. Spyros was an incredible guide. We really enjoyed getting away from the touristy areas and exploring the countryside. A must-do activity for anyone who goes to Crete.
