Travel from Chania to Ano Vouves, Perivolakia, and Kissamos for Cretan food and wine. Visit the ancient Vouves olive tree, see bakery and olive-growing traditions, sample local cheese, honey, bread, olive oil, and finish with wine tasting at Pnevmatikakis Winery. Guide Linda may lead the day.

“A really pleasant and informative day about the island, its food, its history, its olive trees and bees. We learned so much! Our guide was dynamic and super friendly. It felt like we did loads in a few hours: visit the world’s oldest olive trees, the bakery, the cheese factory, the bee keeping place, the olive oil factory, the tasting, and the winery and wine tasting! So much was packed in one day. Great value for money. You’ll need cash for the bakery but everywhere else accepts cards. Super super day!”
