The tour through the olive oil factory was also very interesting. There are two different tours, one including Knossos Palace and one without (check the description of the tours). We booked the one without but we were able to change it on the day and also go to the palace. It was great to go there with an…”

The car was very clean and comfortable for the journey. We loved the goats particularly and the olive oil tasting taught about the process of making olive oil and what to look out for in good oil (I hope that we have enough space in our suitcase). I loved watching my daughter make a vase and buying souvenirs in the stunning villages we stopped in. The Cretan meal was lovely and set in a beautiful location. We would…”

We chose to have lunch at Taverna Athitis which was super tasty and peaceful so highly recommend going there. The olive oil factory was interesting and tasters great. Only downside for us is the trip is on a large coach, but this is just personal preference, we prefer the 4 by 4 vehicles some tour operators use or smaller mini bus vehicles that get to places on smaller roads and mean you are walking around the stops with less people.…”

“What a great trip! Miranos is an incredible guide. Before this we had been to and Athens, and Santorini, and had a wonderful time in those places, but this tour felt like actually seeing Greece. Miranos is very well versed in all the history of not just the areas you see but the island as a whole. What he fails to mention in the description of the tour is the beautiful scenery, and small villages you drive through. After this tour I now consider myself a connoisseur of olive oil, and will be very picky about what I buy when my supply runs out. He not only knows the history…”
