À propos de cette expérience
A half-day journey into the real Crete—where family traditions, honest flavors, and old-world craftsmanship still shape daily life. This small-group experience operates twice daily, with a morning departure at 09:00 and an afternoon departure at 15:00. Both tours follow a similar route through the Cretan countryside, with one small difference: the afternoon tour does not include the beekeeper and honey experience.
🕘 Morning Tour: 09:00
🕒 Afternoon Tour: 15:00
📍 Pick-up Area: From Amoudara to Stalis
🚐 Duration: Approx. 5.5 Hours
👥 Small Group Experience

✨ Stop 1: Soap Workshop – A Scented Story of Simplicity
🕤 Approx. 09:30 – 10:15
Your day begins in the countryside at a small family workshop where traditional olive oil soaps are still crafted by hand. Herbs, citrus peel, laurel, and old recipes come together in a way that modern factories could never fake.

Free time to browse handmade products
🌿 Stop 2: Olive Grove & Olive Mill – Crete’s Liquid Gold
🕥 Approx. 10:45 – 11:45
Next, we step into one of Crete’s oldest traditions. Walk among olive trees that have seen more history than most museums, then enter the mill to understand how true extra virgin olive oil is produced.
Experience Includes:
Guided walk through the olive groves
Visit inside a working olive mill
Explanation of harvesting and cold extraction
Tasting of premium olive oils with bread, herbs, and local pairings
🍈 Here you don’t just taste olive oil—you learn why Cretans practically treat it like holy water.
🍷 Stop 3: Winery & Raki Distillery – Spirit of the Land
🕐 Approx. 12:30 – 14:00
The final stop brings you to a family-run winery and traditional raki distillery, where generations have transformed grapes into stories worth drinking.
Experience Includes:
Guided visit to the cellar and distillation area
Tasting of 3 indigenous wines (white & red)
Traditional raki tasting
Served with cheese, olives, rusks, tomatoes, and seasonal bites
🍇 Optional lunch available after the tasting for morning guests.

- Not suitable for guests with severe mobility issues.
- Wheelchair access is limited due to rural terrain and steps at some locations.👶 Children & Infants:
- Children are welcome, but adults or older teens best enjoy this experience due to the nature of the tastings.

- This is a non-lunch tour; light snacks and tastings are provided, but no full meal is included.
- Final drop-off is in Stalis — please plan your onward journey accordingly.
- Minimum participation required for the tour to operate. If the minimum is not met, you will be informed in advance with alternative options.
- This is a cultural tasting tour, not a drinking experience — wine and raki samples are moderate and served responsibly. The tour is designed to be authentic, not staged — so expect real working places, warm people.
- 🎒 What to Bring With You
- 🧢 Sun Protection: Hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen are a must — especially during summer, as the olive groves and vineyard have limited shade.
- 👟 Comfortable Shoes: Wear closed-toe, non-slip shoes suitable for light walking on uneven terrain — you’ll be strolling through fields and traditional workshop areas.
- 💧 Reusable Water Bottle: While water is offered at most stops, it’s always handy to bring your own — especially on warm days.
- 📸 Camera or Smartphone: The landscapes, the old presses, and the soap-making process make for some great snapshots. There’s beauty in the small details.
- 👜 A Small Bag or Backpack: Useful for carrying purchases like soap, wine, or olive oil (trust us, you’ll be tempted), and for any personal items.
- 🧴 Allergy or Medical Supplies (if needed): If you have specific allergies (olive, nut-based oils, etc.), please bring any necessary medication just in case.
- No swimwear, no hiking gear, no fancy outfits — just dress like you're going to visit your wise village auntie who makes everything by hand and insists you try a little bit of everything.
