Cretan Olive Oil Farm, Agios Nikolaos

The Cretan Olive Oil Farm is an absolute gem and well worth a visit! A family owned and run attraction, they have worked really hard to build up a beautiful and educational centre where you can learn about olive farming and production in the past and the present day. Also on offer are classes in cooking, cheese making and hand made ceramics. A lovely place with a great shop offering local produce for those important holiday gifts!

Nice and fun place! It is small but still fun if you're around. I think kids would love the place because of the animals they have) Goats, donkey, rabbits, chickens and more. The territory is beautiful, a lot of herbs and you can read about each one on the big board you will find. The shop is cool too, although a little bit expensive. But, you can taste everything and choose whatever you really like to buy.

Great little place to get an idea of traditional olive oil production. Nice to see positive initiative of local, sustainable (organic and permaculture) products. Young and friendly staff. Some farm animals (chickens, Goats and Dora the donkey). Herb and fruit garden. 3€ for a self-guided visit (takes about half an hour) but probably worth doing the guided visit! Excellent shop where you can taste olives, olive oil (made on site), honey and other sauces and pastes.

They sell here really great products from own local farm. Superior oil, endless varieties of honey, and more. Though the old traditional farm overview does not really impress.

Fantastic experience. I recommend taking the "panorama" tour to experience how to prepare Cretan cheese, how raki is done (and drink lots of it), and learn how to cook a typical Cretan dish. The staff is very friendly and full of anecdotes and information about Crete, Greek mythology and t the local traditions.
