From Heraklion: Premium Olive, Wine & Monastery Guided Tour

Begin your journey at the Agarathos Monastery, one of Crete's oldest monasteries. Admire its striking architecture, sacred icons, and peaceful atmosphere. Explore the monastery's museum, showcasing rare religious artifacts, manuscripts, and relics of the island's resistance during Ottoman rule.

Next, head to an olive farm. Wander through ancient olive groves—some dating back to the Minoan civilization—and discover the art of traditional olive cultivation. Learn how olives are grown and harvested, visit a traditional cold-press olive mill, and witness the production of Crete's “liquid gold.” Taste a selection of authentic Cretan olive oils and enjoy a local meal prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Then, climb to one of Crete's most iconic viewpoints in the comfort of your BMW X1. Visit the Church of Afentis Christos and take in 360° panoramic views of Heraklion, Dia Island, the Cretan Sea, Archanes vineyards, the Asterousia Mountains, the Lasithi Plateau, Mount Dikti, and the majestic Psiloritis Mountain.

End your day in indulgence at a boutique Cretan winery. Tour the vineyard, learn about Cretan grape varieties, and explore the aging cellars. Enjoy a guided wine tasting of 5 premium wines, paired with curated local bites. Discover how Crete's wine heritage blends tradition and innovation.
