★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 55 reviews · 6 hours · from $76Best value

Spend six hours in Sissi village exploring an 18th-century olive mill, honey and soap workshops, raki making, Cretan wine, and a farm buffet. Round-trip pickup, dinner, and dancing are included, while wine costs €2 per glass. English, French, and German service is offered.

“Trajet beaucoup trop long avec les arrêts aux différents hôtels,1h30 à l'aller et 1h30 au retour, soit 3h au total . Guide soit disant en français mais mensonger car ne parlait qu' anglais avec quelques mots de français et demandait aux français anglophones de traduire en français...La fabrique de savon dure à peine 5 minutes.Le spectacle folklorique est moyen,celui que nous avions à notre hôtel était de bien meilleure qualité. Repas moyen également. Bref 3h de bus et 3h sur place pour une prestation plus que moyenne,je ne conseille pas.”
