Kreta's wijn- en olijvensafaritour vanuit Chania
Beschrijving
Spring in een Land Rover en laat je meenemen op een culinaire en culturele reis door Kreta. Dit Griekse eiland staat bekend om zijn wijn en olijfolie. Bekijk tijdens deze rondleiding van een hele dag vanuit Chania hoe olijven worden geoogst en omgezet in extra vierge olijfolie. Bezoek een olijfmolen en bekijk een 3.000 jaar oude olijfboom. Drink wijn terwijl je door een wijngaard reist. Communiceer met schapen en geiten terwijl je op weg bent rond het eiland in de Land Rover voordat je een 16e-eeuws huis bezoekt waar je alles te weten komt over de Kretenzer messenproductie. Tot slot kunt u genieten van een typisch Kretenzer maaltijd in een kleine taverne.

Reisroute
Safari's zijn niet alleen bedoeld voor exotische dieren. Op Kreta is een safari veel bedwelmend. Nadat je bent opgehaald in een Land Rover in je hotel in Chania, volg je een dagtour met gids door een landschap versierd met olijfbomen en wijngaarden. Dit is een tour vol wijn, eten en plezier. Verwacht dat je wegkomt met een grondige kennis van de culinaire en culturele geschiedenis van Kreta. Kom langs bij een olijfoliemolen om van je gids te leren hoe olijven worden geoogst om extra vergine olijfolie te maken. Je ziet zelfs een 3000 jaar oude olijfboom. Ga van olijven naar druiven, volg een rondleiding door een wijngaard en proef de wijn terwijl je leert over de oude Kretenzische methoden van wijnbereiding. Ga zitten in een kleine taverne en geniet van een typisch Kretenzische maaltijd. De keuken van Kreta staat bekend om zijn levengevende, langleven producerende kwaliteiten. Verwacht verse kruiden en groenten, zeevruchten, feta-kaas en misschien zelfs hartige taarten. Stop bij de kapel van Agia Paraskevi, boven een enorme grot. De grot, 525 voet (160 m) diep en 118 voet (36 m) breed, was een heiligdom voor een oude vruchtbaarheidsgodin lang voordat de kerk werd gebouwd. Aan het einde van je tour word je teruggebracht naar je hotel.

The driver was amazing and gave us great information while we drove and at the oldest olive tree. Plus the olive production tasting was sooo delicious! The guide was so educated and able to explain everything. Wine tasting was great and food stop was authentic. The off roading was a bit too long and the drive through mountains could have been skipped.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted you enjoyed both the beauty of the excursion and the warm hospitality of our team, who always strive to make each trip memorable. Exploring Crete’s landscapes is truly special, and we’d love to welcome you again on another Cretan Holidays adventure.
Great drivers/tour guides with off-road jeeps. It was fun to drive off the beaten track into the countryside. Including wine tasting of three local wines and a visit to an olive oil factory with really good olive oil. We also visited an old monastery and a cozy restaurant where we had lunch. That was also delicious 🙂
This was a memorable tour! My family and I learned a lot about Greece’s history, and about the wine and olive oil they produce. We will never forget Olga our tour guide who made us feel like family from the moment we entered her vehicle.
Dear Marie, Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our tour. We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed learning about Greece’s history, wine and olive oil. We hope to see you again soon and share more of our beautiful country with you.
It was a terrific time. Our guide Thannasi was the best. He was fulls of so many great stories and so much Cretan history.
Dear Amanda, We are so grateful that you took the time to give us an excellent review. We will be really happy to see you again soon on our other excursions too. Thank you!
This was a highlight of my trip to Crete. It was a full day full of a wonderful experience. The olive oil factory was informative. The wine tasting was excellent and fun. And our lunch was amazing. It was worth every penny and I highly recommend!
Dear Dar _P, Thank you so much for taking time to leave an excellent rating. We hope to see you again soon
This was our 1st guided tour in Crete. Overall an excellent experience. Our tour guide, Thanass, was fantastic. Even with his hoarse voice, he pushed through with tons of useful tips, information and interesting stories. The olive mill was situated high up in the mountains, and the woman providing the tour was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about their products. I only wish the gift tubes (a soon to be product) made from residual olive pulp were available at the time of our tour. The winery was another excellent part of the tour. We tasted all six of their offerings, and they kept getting better. My girlfriend, who is very selective about her white wines, enjoyed everything from the whites to the rose. I’m generally a fan of reds, but enjoyed drinking all of them. You will also make a brief stop to visit the world’s oldest olive tree. It makes for a good photo op, but don’t count on getting any olive oil from that particular tree. That’s reserved for dignitaries and famous people. The last part of the tour consisted of a stop at a taverna on the mountain road back toward Chania. The food was filling, but just OK in taste. In all there were nine of us on the tour, and we were the only occupied table. I’m not so sure how they stay in business. Pick up and drop off were very close to our Airbnb and timely. If you’re at all interested in touring an olive mill or winery this is definitely worthwhile. Oh, forgot to mention the little bit (~30 min) of off road driving between the winery and taverna. It’s quite bumpy, so be prepared. The tour guide encourages people to switch seats between stops, so it’s probably better to strategically sit mid vehicle during the off road part. Yas mas!
Thank you so much for your detailed and enthusiastic review Jayk. We and our partners do all we can to provide the best experiences to our guests and it always makes our days when a guest appreciates it. Hope to see you again soon!
This was a fabulous day of exploring Crete outside of the main cities. Athanasios (I hope I got the spelling right), was a wonderful guide who knows a tremendous amount about the island - you'll learn a lot! Manalo was also along for the ride as a new trainee and was wonderful. The wine is delicious, the rural scenery is stunning, the olive oil is SO good (I was traveling light otherwise I would have gotten some), the oil tree is way cool, and the food at the tavern is delicious....highly recommend.
Dear Tarsi, We are so glad to heat that you had such a nice experience at Wine and olives safari tour. It is a great pleasure when our guests recommend our excursions. Hope to see you again soon!

Dear deniseee Thank you very much for your nice comment. We are glad that you enjoyed the trip and your review is the greatest reward for us! With best regards
Absolutely great day with Antonio, our tour guide, with a visit to the Olive Mill and Winery, and the best of all, a fabulous lunch with Opa & Yia Yia! It’s a must do!
<p>This is an amazing tour! So many great sites, the ride through the gorge is amazing, and the meal and the family who provided it is absolutely great! We only spent a week on Crete, and this was our favorite non-beach day!</p>
