Omalia Olive Press

It is curious to know that CRETAN olive oil is considered to be the best in the world! So take a chance to visit one of the olive oil factories and to get acquainted with the amazing process of producing this so healthy and so popular “liquid gold”! (Please note that mainly the oil is produced in winter time, thus if you visit the factory during the summer period, you will just see the equipment and be told about the process without seeing it in reality)
