A	Alice Brogna on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing view, nice and very explanatory guided tour, awesome food with local fresh ingredients. Great organic extra virgin olive oil!
S	Samuel Driggers on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful scenery and amazing olive oil. Different types and flavors of oil as well. Its worth the drive from Chania to go visit. Durring tourist season they have a tour as well showing the process of how the oil is made.
E	Elena Preda on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice experience, the entire process of obtaining the olive oil was explained very nicely by the host, Chloe, with lots of details and funny jokes ☺️ We tasted the oil obtained at the factory and it is divine. We enjoyed every minute here. The view from the mountain is breathtaking.
E	Eveline Shum on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A thorough and engaging tour of the manufacturing of their delicious bio-agri olive oil. For foodies and people who want to learn where their food comes from. Stunning views. Our guide was entertaining and answered lots of questions. Olive oil tasting at the end. Cafe produced unique and delicious dishes: salad was inventive and a phyllo-wrapped mousaka-type dish was a favorite. Definitely recommend.
N	Natalie Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We spent such a lovely afternoon here, I think this was the highlight of our trip so far! Definitely best meal we’ve had on Crete. The estate is run by a family and you can see they are very passionate about olive oil production as well as the food they serve at the restaurant. The tour was very informative and the view was spectacular. The staff here were friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed our lunch. We had the wild asparagus salad, bruschetta, and smoked pork. For dessert we had koliva (I think? Not 100% sure about the name) - which involves wheat berries, almonds, pomegranates and parsley (yes, parsley in a dessert ?). Wish we had time to come back and try the other things on the menu since everything was so good. You can also get carbonated lemonade or bitter orangeade, both made from cold pressing citrus rinds not the juice. It’s quite a unique taste and very refreshing????
B	Bernadette Kavrazoni on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful place in the mountains, where time slows down, away from all the usual tourist hubbub. We spontaneously tried our luck to book a tour on the same day, and got a reply quickly that it's no problem. We arrived a bit early and enjoyed a drink on the shady veranda. Our waiter Stavros was very attentive and took care of us until the tour started (and after the tour as well). The guide was a lovely lady called Nic, who educated us in the most lively and entertaining fashion about the production of olive oil, both the traditional way (as is used at this place) and the modern mass production way. The tour ended with an oil tasting (plain, bitter orange and lemon). Purchase is of course optional, but the oil was really good and the prices fair, so we bought some. There is also a small gift shop with olive wood items, ceramics and soaps. Afterwards we had some more drinks and practically had the place to ourselves. Peace and quiet, lovely views of olive groves all around, and two sweet doggies that lay around in the sun (or by your feet if you have food).
V	Vamos Jordan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We took the free tour with Stravros and it was great! The tour of the factory was really interesting. It ended with tasting the three olive oils they produce. We ended up buying a case!
O	Olivia Melchior on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We did the boozy brunch option. We got picked up and taken to the estate. We got offered a nice coffee on the terrace before the tour. The tour was fantastic very clear and passionate about the making of olive oil. The brunch was excellent fresh produce and a good selection of Cretan wine. Beautiful setting under the shade and olive tree in the garden. Then a quick drive to the oldest olive oil tree. Fantastic experience you have to try. Very family orientated everyone was so so nice!
