- Heraklion Prefecture - At the Politakis Olive Mill, tradition and modern craftsmanship merge as seamlessly as their olive oil. Since 1950, the Politakis family in Peza has transformed generations of expertise into liquid gold, while still honoring the same timeless techniques. Visitors can experience the entire production journey — from freshly harvested olives to the final bottled product — in facilities that embody both innovation and respect for tradition.
The tasting, however, is the true essence of the visit. Beneath the shade of ancient olive trees, visitors will discover the true meaning of extra virgin: earthy, aromatic, and refreshingly unpretentious. As they taste, they will learn to identify the bitterness, fruitiness, and depth that characterize authentic olive oil — complemented by local cheese, honey, and herbs. Politakis doesn’t just produce olive oil; they preserve a way of life that is simple and sincere, just as Crete has always done.
