The village of Astrikas on the island of Crete

Astrikas is a small village with about 150 inhabitants. It is set amongst acres of olive groves at an altitude of 200 meters just southwest of the larger coastal town of Kolymbari. Astrikas is known for its Biolia Olive Oil factory, where organic and high quality olive oil is produced. Here you can take a tour of the factory, during which many things are explained about olives and olive oil production. The factory also has a shop where you can try and buy the olive oil. The views from the grounds of the factory on the back side is over the enchanting landscape and the very interesting village of Rokka and its excavations (this needs to be seen, gorgeous!).
