Overview

What makes this activity unique is that it offers an intimate journey through the real, working heart of Crete — far from the usual tourist routes. You won’t just watch demonstrations; you’ll stand beside the artisans themselves — stirring natural soaps, tasting olive oil fresh from the press, and sipping wines that never reach supermarket shelves. Every stop is family-run, every handshake genuine, and every taste born from generations of care.

It’s an afternoon steeped in authenticity — fragrant with herbs, olive wood, and fermenting grapes — where you learn not from guides, but from the makers themselves. By sunset, you’ll understand why Cretans say their island’s treasures are handmade, heartmade, and meant to be shared.

Activity itinerary

During this afternoon experience, you’ll travel through the peaceful countryside of Peza and nearby villages, meeting local families who have dedicated their lives to traditional Cretan crafts. Your first stop is a small soap workshop, where you’ll see how pure olive oil and local herbs are transformed into fragrant handmade soaps — and even create your own small bar to take home. Next, you’ll visit a family olive mill surrounded by silver-green groves. There, you’ll learn how extra virgin olive oil is produced, from harvest to cold extraction, before tasting different varieties paired with village bread and tomatoes. The final stop is a boutique winery, where you’ll walk through the vineyards and cellar, talk with the winemaker, and enjoy a guided tasting of local wines like Vidiano and Kotsifali — each reflecting the soil and sun of Peza Valley. It’s a relaxed afternoon blending discovery, flavor, and conversation — a quiet escape into the world of Cretan tradition, guided by the very people who keep it alive.
