HERAKLION
Ranked by traveller popularity
The 5 most popular farms in Heraklion. Here's what each one actually delivers, who runs them, and what they cost.
Full-day Crete tour from Heraklion linking Knossos, Vidiani Monastery, Lasithi Eco Park, Krasi springs, and an olive mill farm.
“Zoula was very kind and knowledgeable during the tour. She showed great passion for the Minoan civilization at Knossos Palace, which made me enjoy it more. It was a wonderful day!”
A long but rewarding Crete road trip to Vidiani Monastery, the Cave of Zeus, Krasi village, and an olive mill farm with tasting.
“I felt a bit ripped off as in the description it said Cretan lunch was included in the ticket cost but it wasn’t and they wanted €15 for a basic buffet that was nearly empty by the time we got there. It was a nice trip except for the over 90 minutes of pick up…”
Shared day tour from Heraklion to Vidiani Monastery, Zeus Cave, Krasi, an olive mill, and Knossos with hotel pickup.
“Lovely, well organised and busy day. Saw and experienced lots, good value for money. Would recommend but bear in mind that it is tiring”
A 2-hour private farm walk in Heraklion with olives, snails, and dragon fruit, finished with a shaded terrace tasting and local products.
“Alex was amazing - informative - friendly & the tour was great! I have no idea how he makes any money at that cost. It's worth three times what he's charging. The dragon fruit addition to the farm was interesting. Lots of taste testing. Buy his products!!! Support local.”
Olive Oil Festival in Sisi with farm workshops, wood-fired dinner, wine tasting, live music and dancing, plus round-trip pickup.
“There is a lot of information to take in, and it can get a bit noisy when there are a lot of people on the tour. Be prepared to spend lots of money on the amazing products available in the gift shop. The buffet dinner was out of this world, and the music and dancing…”
