  This was the highlight of my trip in Crete. This small group experience included: - Comfortable transport, starting from our prompt hotel pick up at 9.30am, with beautiful scenery between stops and our driver, George, chatting away with us alongside pointing out things of interest telling us lots of interesting information about the country. - a visit to the olive oil producer where we had an informative talk followed by a tasting session and the,non pressured, chance to purchase olive oils and other products at very reasonable prices. Water and bathroom facilities were provided. - after a 40 min scenic drive high into the mountains we reached Nicos' sheep farm (where we were also joined by Vasili) hand milked the sheep and had a demonstration of how a shepherd makes a simple cheese from the milk we just collected accompanied by recorded music by the multi talented Nico and his band. This cheese and others were sampled along with Raki and water to drink. (Cheeses were available to purchase afterwards should you wish) - a short drive brought us to the hospitable family home of Vasili where we spent the rest of the day. What a great time we had here starting with a very informative chat about how to taste and describe wine whilst sampling the wines directly from the barrels. We then headed up a short walk to the beehives where we were given hooded jackets and gloves to wear whilst we watched a couple of the hives being checked over. It was a fantastic experience holding the frames, looking at the larvae and spotting the different types of bees doing their jobs. From here we headed a little further up the hill to a sheltered table setting where we were provided with hand sanitiser before being instructed on how to prepare a simple tasty salad which we made together for our lunch served alongside cheeses and freshly cooked vinegar sausage and smoked chicken, honey from the bees and wines of our choice from the vineyard itself. This was such a beautiful setting with the mountain plants and white topped mountains around us. The day was not yet over. After eating and drinking our fill we headed back down to the house to be offered greek coffee and 3 flavours of Raki and to have a lovely chat with Vasilis Mum and to enjoy the banter between the two of them. Wine, honey and raki were available to purchase at this time. I was so glad to have purchased some wine as I also got to put in the corks and seal the tops of the bottles I bought after Vasili filled them. After a truly uplifting day in the beautiful mountains, full of many new experiences and tastes we were driven back to the hotel arriving back around 5pm

  We had the most delightful day with Anna Maria and Vasili! Our whole extended family (from age 3 to age 70) had a blast as we learned about olive oil, sheep, cheese, bees, honey, wine, winemaking, and life in Crete. Highly recommend!

  This was the highlight of our trip to Chania and was worth every penny. Vasili picked us up in a minibus with another couple, so there was just the four of us. On the journey, Vasili was friendly and informative, he is obviously passionate about Crete and its traditions. First stop was the modern olive oil factory, where we learnt a lot about the Cretan olive oil production and enjoyed a sampling of various flavoured olive oil, olive jam, olive chutney, balsamic dips with bread and Raki. We also saw an ancient olive tree and vintage olive oil machinery. Next, was a visit to his Nephews sheep farm. After watching a sheep being hand milked, we had the opportunity to bottle feed an orphaned lamb. Meanwhile, Vasili’s nephew was creating a simple sheep cheese, which was delicious. We also tasted both soft and hard sheep cheeses with biscuits and the obligatory Raki. Next, we took a short drive into the mountains to visit Vasili’s home and Winery. Vasili is a keen wine maker and took great pleasure in explaining the wine making process, accompanied by unlimited tastings. Not only is Vasili a talented wine maker, but he Is also a beekeeper. After donning appropriate clothing, we were invited to visit his hives and learn about the production of honey. After a tour of the vineyard, we carried the ingredients of our meal to an open air picnic spot atop the hill. Sadly low level cloud meant we had to carry our ingredients back down the hill to a more sheltered spot near Vasili’s house. The four of us then helped create a delicious Cretan salad, chopping tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, red onion and mixing with lashings of olive oil, soft sheep’s cheese and herbs. Meanwhile, Vasili cooked traditional Cretan sausages and ham. Of course, our meal was accompanied by unlimited wine. All in all, a great day out and fantastic experience.

  Words are not enough to describe what an amazing day we had with Vassili on this tour! The olive oil mill and tasting was interesting, the visit to his nephew's sheep farm, milking demonstration and fresh "farmer's cheese", along with other cheese tasting was wonderful. The ride up the hills to the family home and vineyard was just breathtaking! The wine tour and tasting was truly enjoyable, as was putting on our bee suits and assisting Vassili with the bee boxes! Absolutely a highlight of the tour but nothing compares with the delicious meal, wine, cheese and honey that we all shared under a tent in the middle of the vineyard, overlooking endless miles of mountains and terrain. Gorgeous! We appreciated all of Vassili's knowledge of Cretan life, and especially his warm hospitality. We are so thankful for this wonderful experience. Efharisto!

• Rural village visit outside Chania

  We booked this trip for a party of 6. It was a 3/4 of a day awesome experience. Learned about olive oil production, cheese making, honey harvesting and wine tasting. To top it off we had a great lunch in the vineyard with fresh food prepared right there. We all had a great time and our host was super knowledgeable about many areas. Got a little taste of the rural village life in Chania. Would highly recommend for someone looking for something a little different than most of the touristy options in town. We all enjoyed our time and would definitely sign up again if given the chance

  A small group of eight. We had an amazing day with Vasili. Very informative, fun, and he was a great host. Our trip included visiting an olive oil factory, milking sheep at Vasilis’s nephews farm, watching cheese being made, bee keeping, preparing a picnic (group activity), and grape picking. The settings for each activity were just beautiful.

  We had a fantastic day with Vasili! He was on time picking us up at the Cruise port. Yes, this tour works great when you are in port! He gave us tons of information regarding the area, the olive trees/oil, cheese and wine. The olive oil press was very interesting and the oil was fantastic. We rarely buy food products to fly home with but this bottle was worth it. The milking of the sheep at his nephews farm was so much fun. The cheese was amazing. Lastly we went to his vineyard and tasted the wines that he has made. They were really good. We had a delicious picnic in his vineyard. This included his mothers spinach pies and her lemon flavored olives. I would love to know how to make those! We had a lovely conversation with his mom before we left.

  We had a fabulous day with Vasili on this tour! It was highly informative and interesting, we loved the drive to his vineyard and sharing a delicious freshly made meal. It was a real treat to be offered Vasili’s own wines in his wine tasting lesson and be able to help with the bees. Vasili is very passionate about his work and we loved all he taught us. We highly recommend this tour!
