To do absolutely during their stay near Heraklion! Very friendly welcome at this family estate, a 15-minute drive from Heraklion. We got answers to all our questions and the best, the olive oil tasting! We advise you not to eat too much before visiting this estate because we are feasted on bread, fruit, olives and cheeses to better taste olive oils. A super taste experience and not to be missed!
