About Lyrakis Family – Olive Green Mill
In Sissi, on the north coast of Lasithi in eastern Crete, the Lyrakis family produces extra virgin olive oils, table olives, olive spread and balsamic products, along with Cretan thyme honey. Their Olive Green Mill centres on a historic stone mill dating from 1887.
The free guided tour of the old mill includes a tasting and time to shop. For more involved visits, the family offers paid experiences: a tasting combined with a cooking lesson, and an evening Olive Mill Festival with a Cretan buffet. The evening event makes a good option for anyone staying near Sissi who wants a relaxed night out.
