We had so much fun with our guide George. All the businesses were locally owned. On top of learning about how the wine, Raki and Olive oil is made, we also learned so much about the culture, traditions and generosity of the Cretans. We also got to try out pottery, when we had any doubts about what we were spinning, George was there to help. Would definitely recommend and even book again!
