Back to newsA police officer at Heraklion International Airport intercepted a German tourist who was attempting to board a flight carrying olive oil in a quantity or container that violated aviation regulations. Rather than simply confiscating the product, the officer went out of his way to help: he arranged for the olive oil to be sent to a post office box so the tourist could retrieve it later. Cretan olive oil is considered one of the island's most prized exports, often called "liquid gold" for its quality and cultural significance. Tourists purchasing olive oil in Crete should check airline carry-on and checked baggage rules before flying, as liquid quantities and container sizes are regulated. Shipping purchases home through a local post office or courier service is a practical and hassle-free alternative.
