Olive Picking and Olive oil making in Crete the old way

Olive Picking and Olive oil making in Crete the old way

We will start at 09:00 from the Tourist Office in Vamos. We will follow Manolis the owner of the olive grove with our cars up to the village of Paidochori. We will find ourselves in an ancient olive grove containing trees over 300 years old and up to 700 years old. The nets are neatly spread under the trees and then picking starts. We will pick the olive fruits the old way, with a so called olive comb.. The old way harvesting has no environmental footprint, no carbon dioxide left in the environment as well as no noise from machines. You can enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Of course we will enjoy coffee and a delicious picnic in the grove with pure Cretan flavors.
After the picking is done, Manolis will show us tips on how to make our own tasteful olives. We will have the unique chance to try the freshest organic olive oil in our life - it is “heaven”.
We will take a litre of fresh organic extra virgin olive oil and a cup of olives with us to enjoy home.
