Exceptional Olive Oil Experience at Kleanthi - Visiting Kleanthi was an absolute highlight of my trip to Crete. This beautiful olive farm offers not just a tour, but a real journey into the heart of Cretan culture. The highlight was, of course, the tasting. Paired with delicious local delicacies, their extra virgin olive oil was by far the best I have ever tasted – rich, fresh, and full of flavor. You can truly taste the passion and care that goes into every drop. The setting, the hospitality, and the knowledge shared made this visit truly unforgettable. If you are in Crete, do not miss the chance to visit Kleanthi – it’s the perfect blend of history, culture, and flavor.

Super experience! - Fantastic experience, with enthusiastic guide who told lively and passionate about the olive production. After EN walk around the grove, and in and see the "factory", were served tasting on their own olive oil production. This was exquisite, served with bread and a large dish of cheese, fruit, meat, olives, tomatoes, syrup and honey of various kinds. The oil was poured on a dish and varied with oregano, thyme, honey and syrup in each corner. Really delicious experience, and it was all very fantastic.

Excellent olive farm tour & tasting!! - This was such a great experience on Crete! We took a taxi from the Palace of Knossos to this olive farm where we had an incredible tasting spread (big enough to serve as lunch for our family of 4!) and a very interesting tour of the olive farm and manufacturing facility. They also have a small shop with products to take home, which we appreciated very much (no pressure to buy - but good prices for things like olive oil soap and the unique Cretan grape syrup which we hadn't seen offered elsewhere). Really great stop only a short drive from Knossos!!

Wonderful olive farm neat Heraklion - Very informative tour of the EVOO making process. The tasting spread at the end of the tour was fantastic and filling. One suggestion is that people should be given a small taste of the olive oil as is, before the accompaniments.

Don’t Go Off-Season! - Meh if it’s off-season. The place was empty and had nothing going on. The people were nice, but it was so dull.
