Strolling among the trees, you’ll learn about the cultivation and harvesting process, as well as the cultural importance of olive oil. Guided tours often showcase how modern techniques complement age-old methods to produce premium oils. The experience includes a tasting session, where you’ll sample various olive oils and discover their unique flavors, from fruity to peppery. Paired with fresh bread and local herbs, the tasting highlights the quality and richness of the oil. Many farms also have shops where you can purchase oils and olive-based products, making it easy to take a piece of Crete home with you.
Skotino Cave

Scotino Cave is a fascinating natural attraction located in the quaint village of Scotino, within the Gouves area of Crete, Greece. This impressive cave features stunning stalactites and stalagmites, formed over thousands of years, creating a mystical underground landscape. Known for its historical and geological significance, the cave offers a unique adventure for visitors looking to explore Crete’s hidden wonders. Easily accessible yet off the beaten path, Scotino Cave is a must-visit for nature lovers and spelunking enthusiasts.
Windmills Of Lasithi Plateau
  • 1h
The Lasithi Plateau in Crete is famous for its iconic white-sailed windmills, once used to irrigate crops. Introduced during the Venetian era, these wooden-framed windmills with canvas sails pumped water from wells, supporting agriculture in this fertile highland. Though many are now inactive, their striking silhouette against the mountain backdrop remains a symbol of Crete’s rural heritage. Best preserved near villages like Psychro, the windmills attract visitors exploring the plateau’s scenic landscapes and nearby Dikteon Cave. Restoration efforts keep their legacy alive, offering glimpses into traditional Cretan farming. A visit in spring or autumn enhances the experience, with lush fields or harvest colors complementing the timeless charm of these historic structures.
