Olive oil tasting experience:
After Knossos, we will reach a traditional oil farm. The farm’s land includes hundreds of ancient olive trees cultivated since the 1900s. A friendly staff welcome you to the oil grove, guide you to the facilities and explains the production of oil at all stages. Finally, you will have the opportunity to try 3 different types of oil in combination with Cretan delicacies, as well as the famous balsamic vinegar.

Heraklion city:
There will be time to visit the market, the shops, have lunch and visit the Venetian port of Heraklion. The old castle Koules is built on two tiers and offers a commanding view of Heraklion from the battlements. Walking in the old town, we reach St. Titus' Cathedral, an impressive sight. The Loggia is a wonderful example of a Venetian building.
