Discover Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Visit the Olive Mill
Our Olive Mill is a modern cold extraction plant, located just outside the traditional village of Tsivaras, Apokoronas, Chania, Crete. As the first of our offered activities, it is easily accessible and open to tourists, groups, foodies and olive oil enthusiasts.

Afterward, you can admire the Millennial Olive Tree in our yard and see some machinery from past decades. Finally, you can browse our shop and discover high-quality local products.
There is no charge or fee for visiting, apart from any purchases you might make.
