Olive Tree Museum of Vouves

After a refreshing break we will head to the hinterland of Chania, in an area dominated by one of the most emblematic elements of the Cretan landscape; the olive tree! We will get to know the olive oil culture, beginning from the ‘grandma olive tree’, or else one of the oldest millennial olive trees of the world! After admiring its ca. 3000-year-old trunk we will visit the small museum right next to it, that narrates the history of the olive-oil production in the island, enriched with several interesting fun facts about it.

Wonderful Day with a wonderful guide! Chanda was beautiful and our guide was extremely informative and accommodating! The tour operator was a family owned company and it definitely showed! What a great day! Thanks for teaching us about Chanda beer, local olive oil and your passion for underwater archeology! 5 stars!

Historical, Educational and Tasty! Do not miss this opportunity!!

Wow. Wow. Wow. This tour is absolutely incredible. Maria was so informative, and answered every single question we had. Her knowledge of not only the history of Chania, but Chania life, history of the Minoans, history of Olive Oil production and more is vast. Our driver was so nice and so accommodating I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Do not pass on this tour because it truly is once in a lifetime - and the Biolea Astrikas Estate is not something to miss. The factory tour, the tasting and the ed...read more

Great tour!

This tour was fantastic. It covered the history of Chania from the pre-Minoan to the current period. Tatiana was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and interesting. The Olive factory and tree were also fascinating. I highly recommend!

Outstanding

Our guide, Tatiana, was outstanding. She is intelligent, articulate, earnest, and excited to share not only ancient history of the city, but more recent, and even lots of tidbits about present day culture. The olive oil mill portion of the tour is not to be missed.
