Olive Harvest Experience at Eleonas Country Village

Experience one of Crete’s most authentic and beautiful traditions: the olive harvest season at Eleonas Country Village.

Following the wonderful success of last year’s Olive Harvest Week, we are delighted to offer this special experience once again. Our guests especially enjoyed the premium olive oil tasting with food pairing and selected local wines, which became one of the highlights of the programme — elegant, authentic, and of a very high standard.

For the new season, we are bringing back the activities our guests loved most, while also adding new local experiences to make the week even more memorable.
