Top Crete Wine Tasting Tours - page 2

This tour is a great way to see the mountains and areas that are no easily accessible, we visited the ancient olive tree, tasted delicious olive oil and wine and had a great lunch at Milia Mountain resort. We also stopped for a local honey tasting, our guide Yannis was excellent and very knowledgeable about the island and had great suggestions for activities!

A wonderful experience! Our driver Tony was great and friendly and picked us up right on time. The first thing we did was the soap factory, which we loved. Very interesting process to learn about and they gave us a generous free gift of soap at the end. Then we went to the olive oil tour, which was also lovely. Neat to see the trees and learn about the process and taste the olive oil. We also liked the pairings at the end with the balsamic vinegar and the grape syrup, etc. very tasty. The wine and raki was very enjoyable, as well, and really cool to see their old machines as well as the huge squash they had out front! Wine was very delicious. We saw other reviews before we booked about wine not being proper temperatures and not plentiful but we were happy with it, and when we requested a little more of the one we liked (the red -delicious!) they were happy to supply another taste :) The raki was also good. A little snack of cucumber, olives, and crusty bread with tomato was also supplied. Lastly we visited the taverna for lunch, which also served more wine and raki as well as a nice meal! We were very happy to be accommodated for as vegans :) thank you! And thank you for a great Crete excursion, we feel this was a must do experience for Crete.

Perfect adventure. Everyone had a great time. Captain and host were excellent and made sure we were taken care of. The places/ islands we stopped at were paradise. Not too crowded but just enough people to have a good time. Would do again and highly recommend!
