Customer Reviews
We got a concise and informative tour even with the free tour. No frills though worth the time spent. We saw a bit about the history and process then got to taste the result. We bought a few small bottles as souvenirs. Good for a quick stop and it helped us understand the region’s most important product better.
My wife and I had a great experience with Martina’s olive tour. She was very knowledge, friendly, and made sure everyone go to try every product they had. We visited late in October so there wasn’t much of a crowd but I can see an area for large tour buses which leads me to believe it can get very busy here. Highly recommended!
We visited Vassilakis Estate in Crete—an olive oil company that’s been running since 1865. They offer a free tour of the mill, and while it’s “free,” you’ll definitely end up buying something in their shop (which we happily did). The grounds are beautiful, and the history behind the estate gives the visit extra charm. We tasted several olive oils, vinegars, and even some body oil products. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and unique compared to what you find in grocery stores. The shop is well-stocked, and the products make great souvenirs or gifts to take home. Overall, a nice stop if you want to see how olive oil is made and enjoy some authentic local products.
