Wonderful Off the Beaten Path Experience - One wonderful off the beaten path experience of Crete. We did 3 things Organic Olive Oil tour and Wine Tasting at Domaine Paterianakis followed by lunch in Archanes Alex was our driver. He was very attentive to our needs.. He does not know much history, but he makes up for that in kindness and humor. He was simply wonderful with my husband and his scooter. The organic olive oil tour was amazing. The lady that showed us how it all works was so informative and passionate about what she does....The tasting was divine. The scenery was amazing. I wish I could have brought more home!!!!!! The Winery was very scenic and the wines were good. Maria , our presenter was soft spoken but very kind. The lunch was simply DELICIOUS...the local food came out quickly and each dish was tastier than the last. We simply loved it. All in all ...a very good tour.
