Overview

A unique private experience combining the Liquid Cretan Treasure, Extra Virgin Olive Oil with our culture, civilization, health benefits, a beautiful day at the Cretan nature, a visit to an Olive oil mill, an Olive Oil Tasting and a Cooking experience including all of the above.

We spend time at the Olive Grove, we learn about nurturing the trees, the traditions and the culture of the local people while we relax having some raki accompanied by the olives produced by the trees, under their shade.

After that we visit the Olive Mill to find out by the man in responsible of the critical points in order to produce one of the best Olive Oils in the world.

We then have a 20 minute walk through various Groves and gardens of local groceries in order to reach a family run taverna where we will learn how we taste and use olive oil and the local ingredients.
We will enjoy our fully Cretan lunch and drinks, have a conversation and answer any questions left. Products will be available to buy.
