Visiting the Anoskeli Winery was a great experience in many ways: - first of all the staff are very friendly, and they take you on a tour around their premises showing you how they produced the olive-oil rated "Best in the World"! Furthermore they take through the exiting process of utilising every "aspect" of the olive, whether it's for soap, oil, or fuel. After this we attended their wine-tasting with good stories, and a great "in-between-meal" consisting of local products. The afternoon ended up in us investing in both olive oil and a few bottles of wine - extremely recommendable - THANK YOU!

My friend and I had some fantastic hours having manicure and pedicure. The treatment was fully satifying. But the best part was that we felt so welcome and they are such sweet people who like to talk and tell about their lives. We felt so confrontable in their compagny. I will recommend Violeta to everyone and go again if i go to Crete! Thanks for a great day xx Sara and Signe Denmark.

Recommend for families.... Our girls aged 5 and 9 wanted a short ride. We arranged via internet and it was all very easy. We arrived at stables and were made to feel very welcome. The girls got to meet all the horses and rode Margarita. My 5 year old was nervous, but the girl was so kind and patient and helped her to master the reins. Beautiful stables, horses so well looked after and lovely mountain setting. Thank you, if we come back to Crete we will do a longer ride, but recommend this for young children to try riding as well.
