This tour was awesome. The owner gave us a tour and the presentation with 360 view was so cool. We learned a lot and now understand the difference in Olive Oil purity and taste. I highly recommend this tour while in Greece.

Nikos, not only offered a beautiful smile when we arrived, but as 4th generation, is so proud, humble and generous as he shares his family’s passion for the olive trees, the fruit, the olive oil, and the industry. 200 year old trees, two classic varieties, modernized production and a VR experience through time helped us understand how a simple product has a rich history with deep roots. We were impressed with the small steps and unique innovations we shared during our short time with Nikos. Our only hope is to return during harvest sometime in the future to smell, taste and experience the passion in person.

Nikos was our personal guide on this tour of his business. He is one of the fourth generation of his family to own and operate this olive grove and processing plant. At the time of our visit, it was just the TravelCats and Nikos. This tour gave us insight into an essential part Greek culture and commerce. First, we were shown a part of the olive grove and some of the equipment used to harvest the olives. Their busy season is in October, so I didn’t feel like we were getting in the way. We then moved inside the factory where he explained the processing sequence and equipment. We then moved upstairs to a (air conditioned!) space where he explained what made a good olive oil. We then were given samples of different kinds of olives and olive oils to taste. After the tour, there is the opportunity to buy some of their products. Nikos went out of his way to accommodate the timing of our tour, for which we were very grateful. If you’re looking to bro down to techno music in a club, this tour isn’t for you. I don’t think kids would go for it either. But if you are interested in something off the beaten tourist track, this is a good one!
