Agritourism & Farm Experiences in Rethymno, Crete
Wineries, olive groves, farms and workshops that welcome visitors, with the producer as your host.
The Rethymno region is the mountain side of Crete: Psiloritis, Amari and Mylopotamos make up a landscape of olive groves, villages, pasture and small-scale production. The relationship between people and land remains strong here, from olive growing and livestock to beekeeping and the gathering of wild mountain herbs.
