Explore the Treasures of Cretan Land & Possibly one of the Oldest Olive Trees Worldwide!
Overview of your Chania tour
Follow me on one of Crete's most comprehensive Olive oil tours, which will extend your knowledge about Greek olive oil, history, ethics, customs, and culture. As an experienced guide and olive oil producer, I will teach you about the production phases of olive oil, the varieties of olive oil, the characteristics that deter the quality, and how olive oil is produced in a modern olive oil factory. Alongside a visit to a modern olive oil factory, we hop on to a medieval olive-making facility to learn about the process of olive oil making in the past and appreciate the liquid gold of Crete while offering you a genuine olive oil tasting. Alongside the tour, I will show you many untouched villages of the Chania mainland, we will taste some organic olive oil, and we will discover awesome views of the Cretan countryside. The highlight of the tour is when I will show you, possibly, one of the oldest olive trees in the world that lies in an undisclosed location in Chania!
