Dalabelos Estate: Tours & farming activities in Aggeliana

Visitors of Dalabelos Estate can enjoy unforgettable experiences, immersing themselves in nature, engaging in sports activities, and exploring the estate’s olive groves and vineyards.

The estate is dotted with vegetable gardens, fruit trees, wild herbs, and flowers. Guests are free to walk around the farm, pick vegetables and fruits, and take part in daily tasks such as feeding the poultry and collecting eggs.

Olives, the island’s most important agricultural product, form the cornerstone of the Cretan diet. Guests can join in the olive harvest, which later undergoes pressing to produce olive oil!

You can also participate in grape picking, which takes place until the end of summer. This process is a festive event, lasting from grape stomping to filling barrels with must from the vineyard’s grapes! A traditional clay press, located in the farm’s courtyard, is used for extracting must from the grapes.

In October, grape remnants are transferred to the distillery for raki production, the renowned Cretan spirit.

These activities last 1 to 1.5 hours, are offered in Greek and English, and require sturdy walking shoes.
