Semi-private olive oil mill, Peza winery tasting, and Archanes tavern lunch with hotel transfers from Heraklion.
“Fabulous day from start to finish. Driver Alexander was great. Olive mill visit was beyond expectations. Given a huge platter of cheeses, fruits and breads to try with their olive oil. The wine tour with Irena was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly with a great sense of humour. Generous wine tasting of some really nice wines. The lunch at a family run restaurant was superb, again mountains of delicious food, served by the owner and his young waiter who were both so welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed our day”

Private transfer from Heraklion airport to Agios Nikolaos with name-sign pickup, luggage help, and cool water onboard for a low-stress arrival.
“It was very convenient and was the least stressful part of our 2 day airplane flight journey. Our driver, George, was right where we were told he would be. The sign with my name was in large, bold print so was easily found. Most importantly, Our driver stood where he and the sign were easy to find as we exited the baggage claim area. During the ride to our destination, George carried the conversation in a pleasant manner. He drove us exactly to our location in a safe manner. With regards to the company, our flight was delayed and when I advised them of this , they were already aware…”
