Our driver, Roula was absolutely lovely. She was so informative with the history of Crete. We loved learning about the Olive Farm and Olive oil process. Great family! The winery visit was also wonderful! Another great family! Both places fed us a little something and we were stuffed by lunchtime. But we did sample some of the amazing food too!
It was just the 2 of us on this tour and we had the perfect day despite the unseasonably hot weather. Highly recommend!

Our driver was very friendly and informative. She took us straight to the palace where we had arrangolive fled to meet a professional guide - the ONLY way to see. What a scholar. Then on to a charming olive mill run by one family, and a small winery run by another. Both with enjoyable tastings. Finally lunch at lovely restaurant up in the hills. Just us and 2 other couples. Highly recommended.
