Grecotel’s Agreco Farm gives a whole new meaning to ‘real experience’. The 40-hectare estate is located in the idyllic Rethymno countryside and includes an olive press, water-powered stone mill, wood-burning oven, wine cellar, and farm workshops.

Experience the day to day workings of an organic farm using centuries-old methods to grow and produce everything a traditional Cretan household needed for sustenance, from fresh vegetables and herbs to rusks and bread, olive oil, wine, and raki.

It’s the perfect day’s outing for families too as kids of all ages love visiting the mini zoo, while those aged six to twelve years can be junior farmers for the day.
