What sets this tour apart is its simple, heartfelt approach to Crete — not through the window of a bus, but through the eyes of locals, with a glass of raki in hand and the golden sun warming your back. Instead of crowded tourist traps and generic menus, we take you to real places: a working olive grove where the trees are older than your grandfather’s grandfather, a raki distillery where the cauldron still bubbles with tradition, and a sunset spot known only to shepherds and those who linger after the guidebooks close.
You won’t be herded from one stop to the next — this is a slow, sensory experience designed for those who want to sip, listen, taste, and breathe Crete. We blend stories of land and labor with flavors that aren’t printed on restaurant menus. It's a small-group, intimate evening where the sunset isn’t just a photo, but a shared memory — with olive oil on your fingers and laughter in your ears.

Step into the heart of Cretan agricultural life with a guided walk through a working olive grove. Learn the age-old practices of olive tree cultivation, traditional harvesting, and the cold-press extraction process that has nourished generations. Tasting includes extra virgin olive oil, warm bread, and small local meze bites.
We continue to a local, family-run raki distillery nestled in the countryside. Discover the fiery spirit of Crete as we delve into the production of tsikoudia (raki), traditionally made in copper stills with reverence and pride. Includes raki tasting and a light snack: village-style pies, olives, and myzithra cheese.
As the golden light fades, we ascend to the hilltop of Ederi, a peaceful and panoramic perch overlooking the shimmering north coast. Watch the sun disappear into the sea – no filters, just raw Crete.
