Approximate itinerary and duration of activitiesIntroduction - 15 minutesWalking tour through the olive trees - 30 minutesPause for questions and raki drink - 15 minutesOlive oil factory tour - 40 minutesOlive oil tasting and questions - 55 minutesCooking demonstration and tastings - 30 minutesPlease note the order of activities may vary at your guide's discretion With millennia of experience behind them, it's no wonder the people of Crete produce some of the finest olive oil in the world. You will appreciate the timeless bond between Cretans and their revered olive trees as you trace the long heritage of olive cultivation on the island. Just outside Kritsa village in the hills of eastern Crete, you'll follow Nikos Plevritakis on a brief walk to his olive groves where some trees are 600-800 years old, and learn about olive cultivation from a true specialist. In the shade of the olive trees, you can try local raki known as ‘tsikoudia' with olives to nibble on while discussing the cultural and societal significance of olive cultivation in Crete. Then it's time to visit a local cooperative factory, to see up close how olives are processed into world-class olive oil. Back on the Olive Path, seize the chance to taste fresh figs, almonds, and grapes, see what the locals are growing, and find out all about the Cretan lifestyle and diet. Then, at an olive farm, you can sample olives, fresh tomatoes, and raki before your olive oil tasting session begins – a great opportunity to learn how to taste oils like a professional and compare the flavor profiles of different varieties. Finish off the day with a cooking lesson on various ways to use olive oil in Cretan cuisine. Authentic dishes, such as tzatziki and Greek salad will feature, and you'll find out why the traditional Cretan diet is so beneficial to health and longevity.

Wir haben sehr viel über Kreta und Oliven erfahren. Kann die Tour nur jedem empfehlen. Am besten war die Reiseleitung die mit ihrem breiten Wissen, perfekten Sprachkenntnissen, witzigen und liebenswerten Art das ganze zu einem tollen Tag gemacht hat. Vielen Dank Rena?? Auch die Gastfreundschaft von Nikos und seiner Familie bei der Olivenölprobe mit Essen war super toll. Vielen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Tag.

Die Tour war sehr interessant und hat gehalten, was sie versprochen hat. Etwas gestört hat der Umstand, dass sie zwar als 13+ ausgewiesen war, aber trotzdem eine Familie mit 3 kleinen Kindern, davon ein Baby teilgenommen hat, was durchaus zu Schwierigkeiten im Gelände geführt hat. Da sollte bei der Buchung strenger drauf geachtet werden.
