Early in the morning we visit the 3000-5000 years old olive tree and later at Anoskeli’s olive mill and winery the Sommeliers and Wine-Olive Oil producers, as more professional in their sector, will inform you about the wine and olive oil when they serve you. The adventurous part of the tour is to approach the White Mountains from Sebronas gorge and driving on rough roads. Have your lunch time at 1200m altitude with a magnificent view to Samaria Gorge and the highest summit, named Pachnes (2453m). Heading back to Chania enjoy the view at the Aegean sea from 1000m.
