Before arriving at the place, we thought we knew everything about olive oil, but during the visit, we realized that we didn't know much! Everything was very well explained, and the place was clean with its shop. We don't feel obligated to buy, but there are so many good and beautiful things that we can't help ourselves. So, from extra virgin oil to regular oil, there is something for everyone.

Stopped here on our all day tour of the eastern part of Crete. It was such an educational, interesting, and yummy place to learn about the history of olive oil making, see how it is currently made, and to taste various flavors of olive oil (tasting honey was a bonus!). It was also interesting to see all the various other products made from olive oil and olive wood. I would highly recommend stopping here to visit!

Omalia Olive Press is a perfect stop over if you go to the mountain plateau or if you come back. It’s super informative and impressive to learn something about the olive oil production. You can taste olive oil of course buy some or can ship to your home country. The staff is quite open and gives you all the necessary information without being so pushy in terms of buying. Great experience.
