5 Stars For a Great Experience
Jere_M, Sep 2022
This was a wonderful experience! It was a lovely “farm” with olive trees, vegetable plants, flowers, chickens, and more. The owner, Melina, greeted us at the gate with a smile and gave us a tour. We learned a great deal about the making of Olive oil from the harvest to the cold-press. Then we had a wonderful lunch in her lovely outdoor patio, which all came from her garden. She was so personable and friendly! One of our favorite Athens experiences that we will treasure always.

Ana, the owner, was fabulous. We learned so much about the whole olive oil process and how the collection affects the tastes. We ended up purchasing quite a bit of her prosecutes because we enjoyed them so much. Recommend to anyone who enjoys consuming olive oil. The dinner that accompanied the tasting, made with her own grown herbs and vegetables was just as fabulous.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
Hello David, we are elated that you enjoyed your experience with us, learned a lot about olive oil, and savored the olive oil tasting and the lunch. Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again soon!
Awesome Learning Experience!!!

This was one of my most favorite experiences while in Greece! To learn about olives, the process of making into olive oil and then tasting the different types was wonderful. The bonus was the restaurant food (farm to fork) was one of the best meals I had in Greece! You would not be wasting your time or money with this tour!
Response from Host, Nov 2021
