Olive Oil & Wine Tasting

Starting our Day trip Safari to Cretan culture we visit a modern Olive Mill for a guided tour around the olive oil production area and for an olive oil tasting experience learning everything about olive oil and consumption.

Continuing our day tour a visit a local winery is our second stop where we learn all about Cretan wines and tasting follows to keep our mood alive. Following a route through Cretan villages our next stop takes place in an ancient olive tree which is 3000 years old and an exhibition on the history of olives. Working up an appetite we arrive at a small village tavern, where we introduce you to Cretan cuisine with plenty of food, wine and warm Cretan hospitality.

On the way up to Mesavlia we cross the gorge of Deliana with its picturesque creek nestled amongst lush vegetation. There will be plenty of opportunities to take photos of sheep and goats on our way to the cavernous chapel of Ag. Paraskevi, where we will make a short stop. On the way back we will pass through cretan villages and olive grooves.
