Description
Nestled in the breathtaking Mirambello Valley, Vassilakis Estate is a hidden gem just a short drive from Heraklion, Agios Nikolaos, and Elounda — easily accessible yet fully immersed in nature.
For over 150 years, the family has been crafting exceptional Cretan extra virgin olive oil with passion and expertise, upholding sustainable and traditional practices since 1865. Manolis & Niki Vassilakis continue the tradition, passing down their knowledge to the next generation.
