What you can expect
Born and raised in Crete, we would love to guide you through our sustainable way of life and explore the rural aspects of Crete!
We carefully designed this tour for those who wish to see Crete through the eyes of a local family! The journey begins with an engaging walking tour in our sustainable family’s olive groves and greenhouses. Discover the secrets of olive cultivation, the meticulous process of harvesting, and the art of producing the finest extra virgin olive oil. During the tour, you will enjoy a premium olive oil tasting, where we teach you how to recognize the aromas and qualities of real extra virgin olive oil, and how the harvesting method and processing can influence the quality.To complete the olive oil experience, we show you a short behind-the-scenes video of our own olive harvest, so you can see exactly how our olives are collected and pressed — from tree to bottle.
Moreover, we will explore how our family cultivate greenhouses and the land with a sustainable way, learn about the variety of vegetables and fruits grown, and understand why local products hold significance not only for local markets but also for the metropolitan markets of Greece. We are eager to share this information and more with you!
The walking tour concludes in an outdoor space beneath a beautiful wooden roof, surrounded by olive trees on one side and a lush garden on the other. There, we’ll have the pleasure of meeting my lovely mother, Mama Stela, and savoring authentic Cretan food prepared by her! Of course, the Cretan spirit, Raki, is an integral part of our meal! You might even get the chance to meet more members of my family.
A standout moment during the food tour is witnessing my mom demonstrate the crafting of Cretan cheese, followed by the delightful experience of tasting it!
The entire event will last approximately 2.5-3 hours. Our sincere desire is for you to become a part of our world and immerse yourself in the authentic and sustainable way of Cretan living!
