Explore local olive groves and traditional paths. The outdoor experience starts in the olive grove. From the moment our visitors step into the peaceful groves, with the sun above the sky, the birds singing, the breeze and the green-sliver color of the leaves, they will feel closer to nature and to the authentic Cretan lifestyle. Our visitors will have the opportunity for a guided tour under the shade of the olive trees where information will be provided about harvesting, environmentally friendly agriculture, nurturing of the trees, and sustainability. Sustainability, sustainable agriculture, and future generations will be core topics of our discussion. This discussion of course will be accompanied by drinking local raki, along with some of the olives produced by those same trees. Under the trees, our team will answer all questions. -Olive oil tasting & Cooking masterclass In the last part of the Olive Trail, our visitors will taste various Extra Virgin Greek olive oils, but also will experience the true essence of Greek hospitality! We will all gather in a local tavern, to taste different types of olive oils based on a wide range of olive varieties. Our visitors will learn how to pair olive oil with food, highlight its aroma, taste, and depth and will also participate in a cooking masterclass and familiarize themselves with different ways olive oil is used in Cretan cuisine. Furthermore, tips on how to cook, bake and fry with it will be provided. The best part comes after the cooking masterclass; our visitors, along with our team, will seat together, enjoy the food, that we will have prepared during this process, and discuss Cretan culture, lifestyle, myths, and of course, olive oil!
