About
Welcome to Astrikas Estate Biolea – a living testament to Cretan tradition and sustainable olive oil production. Nestled in the serene village of Astrikas within the PDO‑protected Kolymbari region, the estate offers visitors an unforgettable journey from grove to glass. Guided tours, available from April to October, take you through the estate’s stone‑milled and cold‑pressed facilities, letting you witness the meticulous process of turning olives into liquid gold. After the tour, an opportunity to taste Biolea’s acclaimed extra‑virgin olive oils – including the citrus‑infused Nerantzio and Lemonio – awaits in the adjoining tasting room. For those with a taste for local cuisine, the on‑site restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., presenting authentic Cretan dishes enriched with Biolea’s own oil. Free for everyone, these tours and dining experiences make the estate a must‑visit for families, food lovers, and eco‑conscious travelers alike.
