Interesting with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was so interesting to see the history of the place and how oil was made historically. Delicious oil that is being sold at a very reasonable price too! A great experience! We turned up and the lady that owns the place showed us round, she was so friendly, funny and full of information about the place (that they've had for over 30 years). We'd been to a pre-industrial oil mill, and a couple of modern ones too before, but always find the different oil producers interesting to look around and the history of the place, passed down through the family here. It was especially interesting seeing the equipment used between the pre-industrial times, and today's methods where an engine (German) was hooked up to belts that ran each part of the process. Thank you very much, and a pleasure to meet you! We had such a wonderful experience visiting Joanna’s oil farm. From the moment we arrived, Joanna welcomed us with warmth and kindness. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also fantastic with kids, making the experience both educational and fun for the whole family. Joanna took the time to explain the history and traditional methods of oil production, walking us through the entire process with passion and care. It was fascinating to learn about the different stages—from harvesting the olives to pressing and bottling—and how much love and effort goes into each bottle. We also got to taste her oil, and it was truly exceptional—rich, smooth, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality and freshness. Joanna also produces and sells a range of other natural products made with her oil, including shower gel, body cream, and honey. Everything is handmade with the same level of care and attention. We loved it so much that we bought a whole box 📦 of products to bring home with us—perfect for gifts and to keep a piece of Crete with us. This was more than just a tour—it was a heartfelt, local experience we’ll always remember. The Paraschakis Oil factory was one of the highlights of our stay in Crete. The of the historic and modern equipment and process was personal, flexible, and incredibly informative. The oil products offered at the end of the were varied and great value. The entire setting in the groves was quiet and beautiful. I recommend it highly. A friendly family that offers a free short showcasing old and modern machines used for extracting oil. Very interesting and informative. We were able to get a taste of their oil and purchase it. Very friendly guide. The took about 15-20 minutes with a tasting at the end. There is a small shell of oil that you can purchase. Was hoping to have more options but we loved how quick and informative the was. Great place to stop for a quick lesson on oil production! Great place! The whole process of oil production was explained, from the old times till now. Friendly atmosphere. I recommend to buy their oil - it's super delicious! Such a wonderful and informative tour. We got to see the whole process, taste oil and purchase some at the end Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
