We had a great time on this tour! Unique Greek Tours was very easy to work with. Gina, our tour guide, was THE BEST! The Melas Oil tour was our first stop, and the tour provided great information about how they make their product and olive oil production in general And the visit to the theatre/ruins was very interesting. What a great way to spend the morning!
This is an awesome experience! The tour advertises that it includes a visit to the theater of Epidaurus, but really you get full access to the entire site of the Sanctuary of Asklepios at Epidaurus, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The tour guide picks you up in Nafplion and drives you to the site. You are allowed as much time as you want to tour the site, and we were able to view the ancient temple and hospital complex, as well as the theater. The theater alone is worth flying to Greece to see. It's absolutely incredible! After touring Epidaurus, you are driven to the Melas olive farm where you are provided with an overview of olive growing from one of the Melas employees while sitting in the olive groves. Then you watch a short informational video that covers the company's certifications and processes. Then you are taken through the factory. When we visited the factory was not running because they only have two olive presses, which only run during harvest season (November to February). After the tour, you get to participate in an olive tasting of two varieties of extra virgin olive oil. Both were absolutely delicious! Finally, you are provided with what the tour guide described as a "snack," but was more of a light meal. It was also delicious! You get fresh extra virgin olive oil drizzled over fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bread, olives, and chesses, accompanied by carbonated water. Once you are finished, you can purchase products from the company, which are significantly cheaper than you'll find in the grocery store. They have olives, honey olives, olive oil chocolate, olive oil, olive oil soap, and various olive oil skin care products. This is an incredible tour and well worth the price. The tour guide also provided us with her personal contact information and said we could contact her throughout the day if we had any questions or needed anything while we toured Nafplion. I 100% recommend this tour.
