Experience the magic of olive oil through a unique tasting experience at the specially designed space of Politakis Olive Mill, in the heartland village of Crete. Here, tradition meets innovation, offering you more than just an olive oil tasting – an authentic experience.
Embark on a truly authentic journey through our state-of-the-art olive mill, guided by a passionate and knowledgeable member of the Politakis family. Discover each step of the production process while listening to stories passed down through generations—an experience rooted in tradition since 1950.
The experience starts exactly where olive oil is born: in our own productive olive grove. Guests are invited into the heart of our land to witness the olive harvest up close. We demonstrate traditional and modern harvesting tools and explain each stage—from the moment the fruit is picked, to its transport for immediate pressing. This rare opportunity allows you to follow the olive’s journey straight from the soil to the bottle.
Indulge your senses with a guided olive oil tasting session held in the serene setting of our private olive grove, beneath the shade of a majestic olive tree that is over 200 years old. Led by a certified olive oil taster from our family, this experience reveals the hidden layers of flavor, aroma, and complexity found in high-quality Cretan extra virgin olive oil.
Taste three unique extra virgin olive oil varieties—our early harvest, our organic, and our classic blend—each carefully paired with traditional Cretan appetizers. These pairings are designed to highlight the distinctive character and flavor profile of each oil, offering a complete culinary experience.
At the end of your tour, take the opportunity to purchase our estate-produced extra virgin olive oils along with a curated selection of other premium olive-oil-based products. A perfect way to take a piece of Crete home with you—or to share it with loved ones.
After your taste journey, choose your favorites.
