A long Crete day trip from Heraklion mixing Knossos, Vidiani Monastery, Lasithi plateau villages, and a guided olive mill farm.

“Amazing! I loved the caves and Knossos and the olive mill tour was better than I expected too. Νεκτάριος was a fantastic guide and added so much context, including his own little stories. I absolutely loved the day... might have given slightly less time at the mill and slightly more at Knossos but overall timings were pretty spot on. Νικόλαος was also a great, very skilled coach driver (not easy on some of those roads)”

George is enthusiastic, speaks fantastic English and is incredibly knowledgable about olive growing and processing. After the tour of the grove and the mill, we entered the tasting room where we were treated to delicious olive oil, and many local Cretan ways to enjoy it including breads, cheeses, fruits, yoghurt, honey and herbs. Under George’s guidance we tried many variations we would not have thought of before and thus discovered many new flavors…”

It’s difficult to pick one highlight of the experience - the taste testing was fantastic and I’m gutted that I can’t buy the produce from Germany! A fantastic family owned business, the tour was done with warmth and humour and the cheese was simply outstanding. Well worth the money!”
