The Olive Harvest Journey

Experience Crete through its olive harvest.

5 days4 nightsUp to 10 guests

01 · The concept

Come close to the harvest.

Five days to experience Crete through the rhythm of its olive harvest—among groves, makers, mills and generous tables. This is a warm, small-group journey into the people, flavours and living culture behind Cretan olive oil.

02 · Your journey

Five days, one living landscape.

Day 1

Arrival & welcome

Settle into Olive Love Villas, meet your hosts and fellow travellers, and ease into Crete over a welcoming table. Lunch is included depending on arrival time.

Days 2–3

Harvest & mill

Join the olive harvest, follow freshly picked fruit to a local working mill and discover how timing, care and craft shape the oil. Guided tastings and shared lunches bring the process to life.

Day 4

Chania

A day for culture, gastronomy and leisure in Chania—wander its streets, follow your curiosity and enjoy the city at your own pace.

Day 5

Heraklion & departure

Travel towards Heraklion for a final glimpse of the island before individual departures.

Your base

Four nights at Olive Love Villas.

A calm, welcoming place in the Cretan landscape—your home between days in the groves, at the mill and around the table.

Also available for independent stays

You do not need to join a hosted journey to stay here. Book the villas separately and discover Crete at your own pace.
