“We enjoyed the variety of site visits - monastery, cave, village and Olive mill along with explanations throughout the day. There was an appropriate amount of time at each destination. Lunch at the Olive mill was delicious and a great way to end the tour. Faih, the bus driver, was amazing how she navigated the bus around the hair pin bends on the mountains and through narrow village streets. The perfect way to see a special part of Crete without the stress of driving!”

There is a difficult walk to get to the cave of Zeus, it is worth it but would be difficult for anyone struggling with mobility. There is a wonderful green museum at this spot too, which could always be an alternative. The olive oil factory was also a great experience, and their products were delicious.”

“What an entrepreneurial place! Whilst we did the Olive making tour (more of an event) they also do wine tasting, cheese making, honey and cooking, whilst there is also an e-tour. But we did the Olive Oil. Excellently presented and hands on crushing and pressing using historic mehanisms - even the children had a go, all the time with a running commentary and supervision. There is also a small but nice shop and after the event there is teh opportunity for a more comprehensive tour using their provided tablets.”
