3.Knossos, Olive Grove, Winery – Distillery with Tastings & Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · from $219

Spend 6 to 7 hours with a private driver exploring Knossos, a family olive farm, a winery and raki distillery, then enjoy lunch in Archanes. Guides such as Anthony and Roula have been praised for clear local insight. Knossos admission and a professional palace guide cost extra, so plan ahead.

“Our driver was very friendly and informative. She took us straight to the palace where we had arrangolive fled to meet a professional guide - the ONLY way to see. What a scholar. Then on to a charming olive mill run by one family, and a small winery run by another. Both with enjoyable tastings. Finally lunch at lovely restaurant up in the hills. Just us and 2 other couples. Highly recommended.”
