If you love honey and olives, this is a must! - Nancy was a welcoming host and knowledgeable tour guide! We learned much about the bee and olive business and were treated to a generous taste test after the tour. All the local food paired with the honeys and olive oil was such a treat! Even my two teens loved it! Needless to say, we came home with honey and olive oil for all.😊

Honey & Olive Oil Tour in Crete - We really enjoyed our tour & tasting. Mariana was a great guide, very passionate and made the experience extremely informative and entertaining. The tasting portions were generous and delicious, we didn’t need lunch that day. They have a great little shop where you can purchase their olive oil and honey. Would recommend this family run business.

Fantastic place and "guide" - Fantastically knowledgeable, engaged, funny and friendly "guide" - it appeared that she loved the bees. Stopped here as one of the stops on a food and wine tour from Chania. Recommended. Lovely flavors too - so the suitcase got a little heavier after this trip.

The best excursion we have experienced in a lovely, personal atmosphere. - This was a lovely experience thanks to the enthusiasm and knowledge of our host, the beautiful countryside and the low-key and very Cretan nature of the place. It is a working olive and bee-keeping enterprise and it was very nice to be invited to learn about this important part of the islands’ life and industry.

Quaint and delicious - This was a great family-owned business that was very nice to visit. The daughter was our tour guide and was very accommodating. The oils and honey are worth the trip. The tasting was very good. We would definitely recommend this tour.
