Olive Tree Museum of Vouves
After a refreshing break we will head to the hinterland of Chania, in an area dominated by one of the most emblematic elements of the Cretan landscape; the olive tree! We will get to know the olive oil culture, beginning from the ‘grandma olive tree’, or else one of the oldest millennial olive trees of the world! After admiring its ca. 3000-year-old trunk we will visit the small museum right next to it, that narrates the history of the olive-oil production in the island, enriched with several interesting fun facts about it.

Trees of life and History!
Wonderful Day with a wonderful guide! Chanda was beautiful and our guide was extremely informative and accommodating! The tour operator was a family owned company and it definitely showed! What a great day! Thanks for teaching us about Chanda beer, local olive oil and your passion for underwater archeology! 5 stars!

Historical, Educational and Tasty! Do not miss this opportunity!!
Wow. Wow. Wow. This tour is absolutely incredible. Maria was so informative, and answered every single question we had. Her knowledge of not only the history of Chania, but Chania life, history of the Minoans, history of Olive Oil production and more is vast. Our driver was so nice and so accommodating I wouldn’t have changed a thing. Do not pass on this tour because it truly is once in a lifetime - and the Biolea Astrikas Estate is not something to miss. The factory tour, the tasting and the education was incomparable. We cannot say enough good things about this entire tour.

Great tour!
This tour was fantastic. It covered the history of Chania from the pre-Minoan to the current period. Tatiana was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and interesting. The Olive factory and tree were also fascinating. I highly recommend!

Outstanding
Our guide, Tatiana, was outstanding. She is intelligent, articulate, earnest, and excited to share not only ancient history of the city, but more recent, and even lots of tidbits about present day culture. The olive oil mill portion of the tour is not to be missed.
Response from the operator: Thank you for trusting me with your free time, guys! I had a great time with you, as well! Tatiana

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chania.
How much does Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill cost?
+
Prices start at $750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chania usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Chania is not rushed.
Is Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Chania, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Chania can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Chania and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chania Old Town - Millennial Olive Tree - Olive Oil Mill start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Chania within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Chania?
+
On Outty we rank every Chania experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half-Day Rethymno Quad Safari, Elafonisi & Falasarna Small Group Tour from Chania w/snacks, Balos & Falassarna Beach - Jeep Tour with Loungers and Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Chania?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Chania?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
