A true snapshot of an older Crete which is disappearing with each visit we make. Great handicrafts, reasonably prices and an extremely authentic feel to the adjacent workshop. Highly recommended.

I liked the personal story telling style of the family member taking us round and learned a lot more about the Olive domination of the island! Got a few free tastes inside and bought some good stuff to take home. All for entry fee of 1.50 euros, bargain!

I have just spent the most delightful couple of hours here learning to make dolmades and tsatsiki interspersed with drinking Raki! Vespina was so lovely, friendly and very talented! Having made and cooked the dolmades, we ate them with the tsatsiki - delicious! I am looking forward to making these with my grandchildren when I return home. Their produce is wonderful and very reasonably priced and the pottery makes beautiful presents. Thank you Vespina and Costas. See you next year!

Nothing to dislike, it was near our hotel, very informative and well stocked with items to bring home. We were able to sample products and there was no hard sell. The cinnamon and honey raki is delicious

Beautiful environment and lots to see! Well worth a visit, as you learn many things and get to take away a local, handmade products.

Despite having been to the mirabello hotel twice before we had never made it to the olive oil farm before, but I wished we had been sooner!We were greeted by very friendly staff who gave us generous measures of raki and plenty of local delicacies to sample which were delicious. There were lots of products to buy as gifts and for ourselves. I can especially recommend the lip balms!Well worth a visit. We will be going back again next year!

After finding the olive oil farm on trip advisor and noticing the cheap entrance fee of €1.50 per adult and children free we decided to pop by and visit. We were given a tour around the farm by a lovely gentleman who was happy to respond to any questions- not only about the farm but he also recommended other areas to visit whilst we were on holiday. We were then welcome to try the products that they sold which were so great we pretty much bought the whole shop! A must visit if in the area

Hello,Thank you for the review, just want to inform you and all of our future guests that when requested, we give tours daily from 9.30 to 18.30 except Sundays which is 10.00 to 13.00.The small token of 1.50€ would be for the whole experience of guiding (around the museum and down to the olive farm), collecting herbs and tasting all of our products, including Raki :D.If you are still in Mirabello and have some time, we would be more than glad to show you around!

We were told by our rep to go and visit the olive farm as we wouldn't regret it, he was right.It was only a 5 minute walk from our hotel (the Mirabello) and for 1.5€ was worth the visit.It was a wonderful insight to how local produce was made before machinery. It's family run, who were friendly and spoke good English.At the end of the experience there's a well stocked shop selling their produce from olive oil to soaps to sauces to raki, basically any Cretan product you wanted. It was well worth the visit and a nice way to spend an hour or so.

a real insight into old local industries, with a well-stocked reasonably priced shop. if you stay at the Mirrabello hotel it's a 5 min walk and a must-see
