Back to newsA training program for olive oil producers in the Municipality of Platanias, western Crete, has concluded as part of the "Crete/Kriti" olive oil initiative. The program educated local farmers on best practices for producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil under the protected Cretan designation. Platanias, located along the northern coast between Chania and Kissamos, is part of one of Greece's most productive olive-growing regions. For visitors, this signals continued investment in the quality and authenticity of Cretan olive oil available locally. Tourists exploring the Platanias area can find premium local olive oil at farm shops, markets in Chania, and regional producers who often welcome tastings. Cretan olive oil is widely considered among the finest in the world and makes an excellent, authentic souvenir to bring home.
