Are you ready to turn your hobbies into a business?
What makes this experience stand out is its honesty — no staged show, no tourist gloss. At the Olive Mill, you’re welcomed as a guest, not a visitor, walking through a working olive farm where the family still does things the old Cretan way. You’ll see every step of the process, touch the freshly milled oil, and taste it where it’s born — surrounded by trees older than any guidebook.
This is not a quick photo stop; it’s a deep dive into a tradition that has flavored Crete for centuries. Every aroma, every drop, tells a story of sun, soil, and patience. It’s a simple, authentic moment — one that connects you directly with the real spirit of the island.

Heraklion Prefecture
At the Politakis Olive Mill, tradition and modern craft blend as smoothly as their olive oil. Since 1950, the Politakis family in Peza has turned generations of experience into liquid gold, still honoring the same timeless methods. Visitors walk through the full journey of production — from freshly picked olives to the final bottle — in facilities that breathe both innovation and respect for heritage.
The tasting, though, is the real soul of the visit. Under the shade of ancient olive trees, you’ll discover what true extra virgin means: earthy, aromatic, and proudly unpretentious. As you taste, you’ll learn to catch the bitterness, fruitiness, and depth that define real olive oil — paired with local cheese, honey, and herbs. Politakis doesn’t just make olive oil; they preserve a way of life, simple and sincere, just as Crete has always done.
