Great Olive Oil and Wine Tour

Julia_H, Sep 2024

We had a great time on the small group private tour to the olive oil factory and vineyard! The tour ended with a traditional lunch at a taverna in a small village nearby. Vincent was very knowledgeable and engaging.

A wonderful day of olive oil and wine

James_P, Nov 2023

Delightful day with an experienced guide through olive oil tasting at the Kanakis Olive Mill and wine tasting at Dourakis Winery. Vincent provided knowledgeable background during our walk through the olive oil mill and processing facility and shared stories of his time working in the olive orchards (very physical work). We enjoyed his stories about life on Crete and background on the history, culture and lifestyle of the people of Crete. An experienced hiker (and hiking tour guide), he gave us great information about the outdoor activities in the area; and then led us on an enjoyable and very scenic hike. Vincent took us for lunch at a lovely local taverna (well-off the beaten path) where we had a delicious meal of grilled lamb and pork, fava bean salad and Greek salad-wonderful white table wine and Mythos Greek beer. The meal was topped off by the traditional complimentary dessert and raki (distilled alcohol) shots. We loved our day with Vincent and very much enjoyed his company-we highly recommend his tours for history, culture, and hiking.

Sharla_H, Jun 2023

Nora was an excellent tour guide. She gave us a bit of history about Greece on the way to our stops. Olive oil stop was very interesting and wine tasting was good. Everyone very knowledgeable about their trade. We had a traditional Greek lunch in a cute little place which was shared by all…great experience.

Fun and tasty day!

Lori_H, May 2023

Michael was an amazing guide. He was friendly and shared many local customs/history with us. He was very knowledgeable and fun! He took us for olive oil tasting, an incredible wine tasting, and an authentic Greek lunch at a small family owned taverna. He ensured that we had everything that we needed. Our group of seven had a really wonderful day.
