- Cretan Vibes - This tour is thoughtfully crafted for those who want to experience Crete from a local family’s perspective! Your adventure starts with an immersive walking tour through our family’s olive groves and greenhouses. Uncover the secrets of olive cultivation, the careful harvesting process, and the art of producing premium extra virgin olive oil.
Discover how locals manage greenhouses, learn about the diverse vegetables, herbs, and fruits grown, and understand the importance of these local products not only for local markets but also for the metropolitan markets of Greece. We are excited to share all this and more with you!
The walking tour ends in an outdoor area under a charming wooden roof, flanked by olive trees on one side and a vibrant garden on the other. Here, you’ll meet my wonderful mother, Mama Stela, and enjoy authentic Cretan cuisine prepared by her! Naturally, the Cretan spirit, Raki, is a key part of our meal! You might even get the chance to meet more of my family members.
A highlight of the food tour is watching my mom demonstrate the making of Cretan cheese, followed by the delightful experience of tasting it!

We were raised and grew up in Mesara Plain, the heart of South Crete, where the essence of Cretan living and diet begins. Rooted in a legacy of generations within a rural family, we hold the knowledge of age-old farming secrets and its countless benefits.
Alongside my mother, we would love to guide you in our way of life and make you feel like a member of our family. Immerse yourself in our world; visit our farm, wander through our olive groves, and explore the greenhouses that whisper the story of our heritage.
The highlight? A live cheese-making demonstration by my mum, featuring the time-honored art of crafting mizithra. Experience the warmth of freshly made cheese, a flavor passed down through generations. Indulge in authentic Cretan cuisine prepared by my mum, and perhaps, meet more family members!
Beyond an experience; it’s an emotional journey deep into Cretan culture. We want you not just to observe but to become a part of our traditions—a cherished chapter in our story.
