5Fun and easy to navigate
I left knowing so much more about olive oil production and what makes a good quality one that I was impressed, very easy to understand and navigate.
1Waste of time and money
No experience at all. You walk in and handed a tablet to walk around a very small area. Then watch a video of how the process works. You tube would have been better. Only tasting was serve yourself in the gift shop samples with horrible old bread.
4Good experience and learnt a lot about Olive oil and Crete produce
Small car park at front. Pay at the counter and you get an ipad device with which you do the self directed tour and it is all about not just olive oil but about Crete and its produce. You also get a bottle of water as part of the entry ticket price. At the end, you return the device and you can walk around the shop and taste the different olive oil and buy any you want. Took us about 45 minutes at a leisurely pace. Plenty of information around. We did buy some nice olive oil after we tasted it
5Worth to visit
Nice people, wide range of goods, good tastr, authentic, well organized.
5Lots to learn and enjoy here!
Our family did the farm tour late one afternoon, (no booking required), spending well over an hour learning about olive-making, cheese- making, honey and wine-making. Very educational and a real little nature-filled oasis (as well as all the plants, there are a few goats, rabbits and chickens!). The shop is also extensive and a great place to pick up authentic holiday presents.

About Agios Nikolaos
Agios Nikolaos is a harbour town on Crete's Gulf of Mirabello, built around a small round lake and a ring of cafés, with Spinalonga island nearby.
Agios Nikolaos wraps around a hillside above Mirabello Bay in eastern Crete. At its heart is Lake Voulismeni, a small, almost circular pool linked to the harbour by a narrow channel and ringed by cafés and tavernas. Fishing boats and yachts fill the marina, and the town's small beaches, folk museum and archaeological museum lie within a short walk.
