Spectacular - Excellent presentation on bee keeping, olive trees, and olive oil production. The tasting included cheese, tomatoes, bread, and yogurt to try the oil and honey with. It was so special and delicious. The drive up to the farm was stunning.

Charming, informative and total bang for your buck - Our tour guide was an absolute gem. She was so funny especially when you consider English isn’t her first language.

Do It! - This tour was WELL worth the $. Marianna was an exceptional guide and the tasting was phenomenal. We would highly reccommend this to others to get a better understanding of the Olive Oil history in Greece as well as the importance of Bees and Honey for our well being.

Bee amazed. - This business is in a beautiful and peaceful location. We were warmly greeted by the family upon arrival. A young lady called Marianna opened the tour by telling us all about bees and their fascinating lives, the harvesting of honey and bee keeping itself. She does her job with a vigour and enthusiasm rarely seen these days and positively encourages questions from the tour group. Then we were shown the Olive groves combined with a talk in their history and cultivation methods to harvesting and final production. Finally we were presented with a smorgasbord of mild and strong cheeses, tomatoes, olives and artisan bread sticks which Marianna then paired up with the appropriate honeys from their own apiary, we even got to try pollen as bizarre as it sounds. The tasting was rounded off with complimentary Raki and Raki mixed with honey. We finished the evening with a visit to the farm shop to find all their produce beautifully presented and very reasonably priced.

Must Visit - Amazing. - This was the highlight of a day trip we did. Learnt a lot about bees and honey (and olive oil). Marianna was very knowledgeable especially about her bees and their honey and a great host/guide. All the honeys we tasted were amazing - and even better when paired with the recommended food. Definitely a must see and we will be back next time we’re in Crete.

Sooo worth it! - This tour was SO GOOD! I wouldn't believe that you could make a talk about bees and olive trees so interesting. Marianna's charisma, charm, jokes and, most importantly, vast knowledge(l on the subject, made it an unforgettable experience. The honeys and olive oil at the end were just a cherry on this very delicious cake :)
