This tour is based on the island of Crete, Greece, the largest of the Greek islands and one of the most historically significant regions of the Mediterranean. Crete is renowned for producing some of the world's finest extra virgin olive oil, with olive cultivation forming a central pillar of the island's economy, cuisine, and cultural identity for over four thousand years.
