V	Vadik K on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to learn about old traditional olive production, kind of brings you back in the time. The owner himself does the tours, so makes it very meaningful and interesting. The cheese making was very cool and unique experience and tasted great!
V	Vera de Jong on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Had an amazing experience in how they used to make olive oil back in the day. We were a small group of 3 people, later joined by two ladies. The stories being told are very educative but easy to follow. Just be aware that with the Olive Oil Making workshop you just might get a little bit dirty, so don't wesr your whites or any type of clothes you don't want to risk getting oil stained.
D	David Künzel on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Awesome place to learn about the traditional way things like oil, honey and cheese were produced in Crete. They offer workshops and guided visits but you are also free to explore the farm on your own with the assistance of a tablet which provides you with the stories and details. There is also a shop which offers all the traditional products, most of them you can even try for free. The owners are very kind and provide you with a lot of information. Definitely worth a visit!
A	Andi H. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If u're interested in Cretan products and other local stuff this place is a must. It's a really lovely and beautiful farm. The e-guided tour is made very well and informative. The staff there was really kind and we got a short and very interesting speech about getting the oil in former times - we did'nt expect that before, really great! The offered products are very good and the choice of pruducts is very big. Absolutely a place u have to visit- we will come again.
J	Jonathan T (JT’s Travel & Experiences) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place and very nice people. It was a warm and friendly welcome. We spent about 1.5 hours here and came mostly for the olive farm, but we could see that they also host wine tasting. While the experience was nice, we were hoping to see more production and of the farm.
P	Pamela on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We booked the wine tasting at the farm (38 euros). Definitely a must when in crete as they produce a variety of local wine. We were put in a group of 10 altogether and given a brief history on how the olive oils were made in the past. The wine tasting was very good. The ''teacher'' was very knowledgeable, patient and asked us leading questions to get us thinking. We tried 6 different types of local wines (red, rose and white) and had a full glass of our favourite at the end with a meal. We were not expecting food after bus it was really good to try greek food which complimented well with out chosen wine. After the tour, we explored the farm which was very beautiful. Animals can be viewed as well. The gift shop have a wide wide variety of products to try and buy (soaps, honey, jam, olive oil etc). Thank you to the local staff who called us a taxi at the end of our visit. Very helpful and overall an amazing experience. Definitely recommend.
T	Thomas Beech on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A fantastic experience visiting the working Olive Farm. There is much more to it than just oil at this site. They also have wine production, honey and cheese. It is fascinating to see the ways in which the oil was made in the past, we were lucky enough to meet some of the people running the place and had a brief talk on the way it used to be made. At the end of the tour, in which you're provided a tablet that tells you all the necessary information, there's an opportunity to sample some of the delicious things mentioned above. They also sell all their products for you to take away with you to your hearts content. I learned a lot more than I thought I would here, I can only recommend it to anyone whilst visiting the area. It's great to learn a little more to this Cretan tradition.
A	Andy Precious on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We stopped by on a whim en route up the coast. Very enjoyable hour or so doing the audio tour and wandering round. We had a friendly staff member demonstrate the olive oil making process with antique machinery and got to sample all the oils, honey, olives etc afterward. Very reasonably priced at 5 euros each for the audio tour. Would recommend to pass a few hours
