Private Half Day Gastronomy and Olive oil tasting in Chania

Step into the soul of Crete at Estate Historya, a lovingly preserved 15th-century Venetian estate nestled in the Mournies area of Chania — the birthplace of the great statesman Eleftherios Venizelos.

Here, every stone and olive tree whispers stories of the island’s rich past — Venetian elegance, Ottoman heritage, and modern Cretan life — all woven together in one timeless setting.

Guided by Elena, your passionate local host, you’ll embark on a heartfelt journey through Cretan culture, history, and gastronomy. More than a tour, this is an invitation into a Cretan family’s home, kitchen, and way of life. Together, we cook, taste, laugh, and share stories — creating memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Surrounded by olive groves, citrus, mango, and avocado trees, you’ll feel the essence of Crete in every moment — from the scent of the land to the flavors of its cuisine.

Highlights:

• Guided walk through the estate’s Venetian, Ottoman, and modern-era landmarks

• Stroll among ancient olive trees, fragrant citrus groves, and lush avocado orchards

• Olive oil tasting featuring the estate’s own extra virgin olive oils

• Hands-on cooking session: learn to prepare kalitsounia, traditional Cretan cheese pies (or, on request, filled with rice and fresh vegetables)

• Shared Greek family meal on the terrace, overlooking the estate — the perfect spot to watch the sunset and savor the flavors of Crete

At Estate Historya, food is more than recipes — it’s connection, storytelling, and a celebration of life.

Transportation is fully arranged — whether by private car, minibus, or coach — ensuring a seamless and comfortable experience from your hotel to the estate and back.
