Crete countryside day from Heraklion: olive oil press, Mochos village coffee, Lasithi windmills, Aposelemis views, Zeus cave, optional Knossos.
“My husband and I had an amazing time on this tour. Our tour guide, Stavros, was knowledgeable, flexible and went out of his way to ensure that we had a “true picture of Cretan life”. We got to experience the itinerary as described but as an added bonus went to a cucumber and strawberry farm where we got to pick our own cucumbers and berries while enjoying a lovely glass of wine. Stavros even took us to try authentic Cretan yogurt and honey plus he gave us a bottle of olive oil from his own olive farm. My husband and I had an amazing time and recommend this particular tour…”

Lassithi Plateau day trip from Crete: Vidiani Monastery, Psychro Cave of Zeus, Krasi plane tree, and an olive mill farm tasting.
“good way to get to see some of the countryside if you don't rent a car. pickup/drop off went smoothly, the stops are a bit on the short side compared to the driving around but you get to see what you come for”
Lassithi Plateau highlights, Zeus Cave, Vidiani Monastery, olive mill tasting, then a guided Knossos visit in one long day.
“Guide was excellent. Very informative. Good value for money. Be aware that the walk up to the cave of Zeus may be difficult for people who are not normally very active/fit. There is the option of going up/down on a donkey if the walk is too hard for you.”

“The trip was very adventurous, lovely ride up the mountains up the rocky road. George our guide was very knowledgeable and great at taking our beautiful Sunset photos of us. Amazing Sunset. Tour around the villages was fabulous little villages. The Taverna food and drink was delicious and there were plenty of it. The whole trip was magical. So worth the money. Throughly Enjoyed it.”

“We were six people total in the group, and the experience was amazing! Niko was a wonderful guide who was not only courteous and kind but also shared informative fun facts throughout our journey. The views were spectacular and the food at the restaurant we stopped at was delicious! Our tea/coffee stop in the village of Krasi was a special gem (the mountain tea was simply divine!). The visit to the Palace of Knossos was great as well. I completely recommend this tour :)”

“George was a great guide, well deserving of his 5 stars! Knowledgeable and helpful. It’s a busy trip, packed with interesting visits, fabulous wine tasting and lunch in a cosy little café. I tried my hand at pottery too! Great value for money and would recommend. Thank you George!”
Taste Crete’s olive oil in Epanos Archanes at Koronekes Mill, learn first cold pressing, and enjoy multiple EVOO samplings.
“What an amazing experience, such wonderful and knowledgeable owners/hosts who obviously put their hearts and souls into making the best olive oil using the much more labor intensive method of hand sorting olives and pressing and not the much faster commercial centrifuge methods. We learned so much about what determines good and high quality olive oil.”
Small-group 4WD wine and olive oil tour from Chania with tastings and a memorable lunch at Milia Mountain Retreat.
“We had a delightful time on this excursion. There were just four of us on this tour--my husband and I and two others--so it was very personal. This was our first time in Crete, so seeing the olive trees--from the 3000+ year old tree, to the miles and miles of olive groves was very interesting. And the lunch at the Milia Mountain Restaurant was outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a great way to spend a day near the port of Souda near the city of Chania.”
