Back to newsThe Region of Crete held the first meeting of its newly formed Working Group dedicated to supporting the Cretan olive oil sector. The group brings together regional officials and industry stakeholders to develop policies and measures aimed at strengthening one of Crete's most important agricultural products. Cretan olive oil, particularly extra virgin varieties from areas such as Sitia and Kolymvari, holds Protected Designation of Origin status and is widely regarded as among the finest in the world. For visitors, this initiative reflects the island's ongoing commitment to preserving its olive oil heritage. Tourists can explore this tradition firsthand by visiting local olive groves, oil presses, and producers across the island, many of which offer tastings and tours throughout the year.
