Visit a working organic olive press in Kolymbari to see modern and traditional production methods side by side. Taste five different olive oil varieties while learning about harvest timing, pressing techniques, and how to identify quality. The farm has century-old olive trees you can walk among.
Purchase directly from the farm shop - prices are better than in tourist shops and you can taste before buying.
