Visiting the Anoskeli Winery was a great experience in many ways: - first of all the staff are very friendly, and they take you on a tour around their premises showing you how they produced the olive-oil rated "Best in the World"! Furthermore they take through the exiting process of utilising every "aspect" of the olive, whether it's for soap, oil, or fuel. After this we attended their wine-tasting with good stories, and a great "in-between-meal" consisting of local products. The afternoon ended up in us investing in both olive oil and a few bottles of wine - extremely recommendable - THANK YOU!
