A delightful tour with a very knowledgeable lady. We then had samples of the oils with some snacks. DELICIOUS. I already buy this olive oil in UK directly from them . Its the best money can buy and so happy I can now see where it comes from and the process .Highly recommend

YOU SIMPLY CANNOT COME TO CORFU AND NOT SEE THIS PLACE! The Governor’s Olive Mill is an exceptional experience with a beautiful family heritage. My partner and I signed up for the olive tasting and we completely fell in love with the passion, process and history of the mill. I highly recommend it to families, individuals, couples and sole travellers. It is a great experience and their olive oil is delicious and I truly wish I could have bought more home

Very cool place. You will learn everything about olives 🫒 , the history of Athen & the importance of this little fruit for Greece 🇬🇷. There are over 4,5M olive trees on Corfu Island. Make sure to make the tour of the factory with the testing in the end. The small tour with 1-1,5h is enough and costs 15€.

A fantastic experience with in depth discussion about the history of olive oil pressing and the contrast with modern day technologies. Followed by olive oil tasting and some small foods to enjoy it with, we felt very informed following the activity. We then visited a 1500 year old olive tree and did a short walk through the grounds, visiting a beautiful cliff spot. George was our driver and is part owner of the company. His bubbly nature put us at ease on pickup from our hotel and he was engaging and interesting, with a wealth of knowledge about all things olive oil. He really looked after us and ensured our comfort the whole time. We are very grateful for this excursion and would recommend to anyone, even those with children.

Very friendly staff, great tour, a lot of interesting information about Greek culture and olive industry and making in general. Fun and interesting olive testing session at the end. Would highly recommend as a must see on Corfu.

Very great tour! We had the 16€ medium tour. The guide was really informative and interesting. Not boring at all! The olive oil tasting is also a must. Would recommand!!!!!

Highly recommended Must do We had one of the best experience on our holiday to corfu. We visited on 11 May 2022. We were only 5 of us including my 4 months old boy. George and his team made the tour so informative yet so interesting. First and best olive testing every done . Their place is very beautiful well organised. George took us to visit their olive plantation where we got to see 1500 years old olive tree, which was very pretty place. My little boy loved George had fun on tour! Must visit on your holiday 👶🏻 Highly recommended you cannot go to Corfu and not do this tour

Eleni gave a great tour it was a great way to end our trip in Corfu! The olive was absolutely divine such a complete tour with tasting and learning! Can't wait to come back

We had a great experience at the Governor’s Olive Mill! We booked the shorter tour, but had the whole package. Our tour guide, Eleni, was very knowledgeable and had all the info we needed. We started in the museum and were shown all the old equipment for making olive oil, then we moved to the new part where we were shown the technology that is used today. After that, we headed to the tasting room where we experienced 2 types of olive oil made at the mill (the limited edition and the premium one) alongside bread, feta cheese and even some yogurt with honey. The tour lasted around 2 hours and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Thank you, guys! (They’re also pet friendly, check out the super loveable kitten)

This tour was incredible! Informative and fun! It all felt very high end and was just well run at the end of the day. The olive oil was delicious and they served it in a few traditional ways. It was enlightening and yummy! Eleni our guide into the world of olive oil was great and the history behind the family run business was also very sweet and interesting — simply a must if you are in Corfu and can make the trip.

From the moment hotel pick up everything was really fun! George was very friendly and he had a great knowledge about the olive and oil. I can see that he and his family gave their heart and soul to the olive oil. We booked the long tour and we had such a wonderful time. Now i can choose my olive oil more carefully ☺️ Maybe a small feedback : Tasting olive oil with bread and yoghurt is OK, but it would be more fun and enjoyable if could had something else to eat with.

Led by the lovely and highly knowledgeable Eirini you are walked through the traditional methods of producing Olive Oil, understand the challenges they faced with early presses and then get to see the modern methods to produce their very high quality oil. In the tasting room you get to try their oils and are talked through the differing flavours in a similar way to wine tasting. It was a lovely relaxed atmosphere with adults, teens and younger children all accommodated for. I'd earmarked the trip as something I wanted to do whilst in Corfu and we went on a wet day which was perfect, it would also suit a "non-beach day". The drive up takes you through some stunning hillside areas and small villages, far away from any tourist regions and offers so great views. They naturally have an on-site shop which but it is non-pressured and has a lovely range. Having had their oils you are highly likely to buy a bottle (which are reasonably priced). Whether you know your oils or are novice consumers like we were, it is a lovely experience.

Fantastic place and experience. We had a guided tour with Eirini who explained us how the whole process looks like with a bit of history and fun. Tasting real extra virgin olive oil is unforgettable experience. Fully recommend this place.

I visited The Governor's Olive Mill in 2021. Sorry so late on this well deserved 5 star review. Let me tell you!!! Really nice experience. My daughter and I got the tour package that includes pick up/drop off service. I really enjoyed this tour from start to finish. Learned a lot from George (tour guide) about Olive oil and one thing that stuck with me is that the olive oil from this place is not to be used for cooking. Instead use it on fresh on salads, pasta, breads, even ice cream. Yes! I said ice cream drizzled with olive oil. Very yummy!! See the video I posted. They served it to us as a part of the tour package. I am having a drizzle of olive oil on my buddha bowl as I am writing this review. Because I still order my olive oil from this place. Kind of expensive, but I buy it when I can. Hope the Dafnus family is doing well and Rob (the dog). If you are ever in Corfu, best add this to your tour list. Love Corfu!! Thank you George and family!!

Try their tour with olive oil tasting, you won’t regret! You try 2 fantastic oils in different ways: pure oil, with bread, with cheese and tomato and with ice cream. Oil taste is incredible and you will know the story of olive oil making in Corfu.

We visited the Olive Mill during Easter holidays in 2024, the experience for us and also for our young children was really amazing. It was educational, fun, our tour guide Eirini was very nice and funny and really helpful. Tasting of the oil was a unique experience and we left with a lot of newly acquired knowledge about the production of the oil. Definitely recommended tour to take when in Corfu, as part of the overall island experience.

Besuch am Nachmittag, es wird kein Eintritt verlangt, man parkt einfach am Straßenrand. Das gesamte Gelände eignet sich gut als Fotomotiv. Auf dem Weg dorthin kann man den 1500 Jahre alten Olivenbaum sehen. (Translated by Google) Visit in the afternoon, there is no entrance fee, you just park on the side of the road. The entire area is suitable as a photo opportunity. On the way there you can see the 1500 year old olive tree.

Mooie Byzantijnse ruïne uit de 13e eeuw waar de natuur de stenen heel langzaam overneemt. Aan de oppervlakte te zien moet het indrukwekkend zijn geweest. De ruïne is mooi geconserveerd en biedt mooie opties voor fotografie. (Translated by Google) Beautiful Byzantine ruin from the 13th century where nature takes over the stones very slowly. On the surface it must have been impressive. The ruin is beautifully preserved and offers great options for photography.

Interesting place - mainly a ruin which you can walk around. Couple of benches to take a rest in the shade. Parking 50m away near the crossroads taverna. Close to the caves, easy visit to both. No charge.

13th century Byzantine fortress is located in a surprising spot as there are more obvious spots very close by. The walls are all that remain, which are crumbling at certain points. It's worth a stop if in southern Corfu. The entrance is free, but I feel it could be better maintained and more could be done to preserve and utilise it.

I love when you can visit old sites for free. Near the village of Agios Mattheos, 23 km from the city of Corfu, are the remains of the Byzantine castle of Gardiki dating back to the 13th century. The castle is located on a hill and has an octagonal shape with eight towers and three gates. There are lots of lovely teeny tiny wild flowers and it smells great, dusty, herby and ☀️ sunny. There are good views from the walls and in the central area. There are a couple of lovely gnarly olive trees inside. It is considered, in a way, a twin castle with Angelokastro.

The outer wall and towers of this castle are still standing. You can see the characteristic Byzantine layers of brick/terracotta in the stonework. All the buildings inside are gone. Nothing inside except grass, a few olive trees and some seats. No facilities.

Well worth a look just to take in some local history and free to enter

Upon arrival, the sheer magnitude of the ruins is awe-inspiring. The crumbling walls, weathered stone, and intricate architectural details evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity. As you wander through the site, imagination takes flight, painting vivid pictures of the castle’s former glory. Exploring the ruins is like stepping back in time. With each step, you’ll discover hidden nooks, archways, and corridors that once echoed with life. The remnants of towers and bastions provide panoramic views, offering glimpses of the island’s breathtaking landscapes that stretch as far as the eye can see. While the ruins may lack the grandeur they once possessed, their charm lies in their raw, untouched state. Overgrown vegetation adds an enchanting touch, breathing life into the ancient stones and creating a unique atmosphere. It’s a place where history and nature converge, where time seems to stand still. Be sure to bring your camera, as every corner offers a picture-perfect opportunity. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a photography lover, or simply seeking a serene escape, the castle ruins of Corfu Island will leave an indelible impression. Visiting the ruins is a multi-faceted experience that engages all the senses. The whispers of the past, the soft rustling of leaves, and the aroma of nature combine to create an immersive journey. It’s a place that invites contemplation, reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the passage of time. While there may be limited amenities at the site, the true allure lies in its unspoiled beauty. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, carry water, and embrace the adventure that awaits within the castle’s ancient walls. Corfu Island’s castle ruins are a treasure trove of historical significance, natural beauty, and quiet serenity. They beckon travelers to embark on a voyage through time, leaving a lasting imprint on all who dare to explore their captivating embrace.

Wunderbar Ruhig und interessant....leider schon sehr verfallen, jedoch absolut ein Besuch wert 👌 (Translated by Google) Wonderfully quiet and interesting...unfortunately very dilapidated, but absolutely worth a visit 👌

I was looking for some ruins to explore and this was on our way home for the Governor Mill olive oil mill. We large exterior walls are visible as you pull up on the side street. Inside there is a lage courtyard and old stone path to walk as you explore. Some areas are blocked off for safety but there is still a lot of areas that are accessible. More information on the sites history was the only thing missing. Very glad we stopped I would recommend seeing this if you are in the area.

Allein die Größe der ehemaligen Anlage mit den Mauerresten ist beeindruckend. Allerdings ist bis auf die Außenmauern nicht mehr viel zu sehen, was sicherlich dem hohen Alter der früheren Festung geschuldet ist. Ein Besuch lohnt sich trotzdem. Eintrittsgeld wird nicht erhoben. (Translated by Google) The size of the former complex with the remains of the wall alone is impressive. However, apart from the outer walls, there is not much left to see, which is certainly due to the old fortress. It's still worth a visit. There is no entry fee.

It's a nice walk around the ruins of the castle, and the views are nice too. But there is no information about the history of the castle.

Große Festung. Ohne Eintritt. Leicht zu finden. Gepflegter Eindruck. (Translated by Google) Big fortress. No entry fee. Easy to find. Well-groomed impression.

old fortress, only the walls remaining. nice to go if the weather is not ok for going to the beach. very old olive tree near the entrance. no fee to visit

Minimalistic experience but it's worth the visit if you dont mind going out of your way.. Free entry

Pretty cool. Not much to see except the walls. No information boards unfortunately either.

Lohnt einen Ausflug! Tolle altertümlichen Festung, kein Eintritt, man kann mit dem Auto oder dem Taxi bis vor die Festung fahren. Nicht Rollstuhl geeignet, wer schlecht zu Fuß ist, sollte sich Gehstöcke einpacken. Bitte vorher mit Insektenschutz einsprühen, Vorsicht vor den Spitzgurkengewächsen (sehr giftig) wachsen dort auf dem Plateau. Passiert aber nix wenn man sie in Ruhe lässt. (Translated by Google) Worth a trip! Great ancient fortress, no entrance fee, you can take a car or taxi to the fortress. Not suitable for wheelchairs, if you have difficulty walking you should pack walking sticks. Please spray with insect repellent beforehand. Be careful of the pointed cucumber plants (very poisonous) that grow there on the plateau. But nothing happens if you leave them alone.

A nice scenic spot with well-preserved walls. An easy and free activity to do with the family for a nice day out.

Große Anlage, frei zugänglich. Kann man im Vorbeifahren gut mitnehmen, wenn man vom Strand kommt. (Translated by Google) Large facility, freely accessible. It's easy to take with you as you drive past when you come from the beach.

One of the places on Corfu you need to visit. The wine is produced and bottled here, in one of the oldest wineries in Greece. You can taste the wine before you decide which one to buy;) additionally, you will find there a home-produced and bottled olive.

A quality, traditional winery and olive oil estate that has kept its charm from the centuries it has operated. Amongst the estate’s hundreds of acres lies a museum displaying the former, archaic machinery used in their process of making & packaging wine. A tour of this preceded a look at their modern machinery, as well as their large cellar of aging wine. The staff catered our booked lunch exceptionally, the wines chosen to pair with the spread laid out in front of us. They were also really friendly and continued to make conversation with us throughout. The scenery and surroundings enhanced our afternoon. Highly recommend.

We had an absolutely lovely experience at Theotoky Estate. The wine was absolutely delicious, and the food we had with it was even better! The only reasons I’m not giving it 5 stars is because we didn’t get a tour of the vineyard - I don’t know if it was particularly hot that day or something; but it was a shame to not do the tour when that was part of what we paid for. We also only got 2 glasses of wine to taste (a white and a rose) and I thought at a wine tasting you’d get a lot more! I’d still definitely definitely do it again and would completely recommend!

We had a really nice experience at the Theotoky Estate! The people were so friendly and answered every question we had. We had the Snack option and were served tasty appetizers. Would definitely recommend! For those who arrive by car make sure to take the road from the north to the estate. The one which comes up from the south (near golf court) is in really bad condition.

The experience was fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about the estate's history and wine-making process. If you're visiting Corfu, I highly recommend stopping by Theotoky Wine Estate. It's a beautiful place with a warm, welcoming team, great wine, food and an unforgettable atmosphere. We were supposed to be there for about 45 minutes, but we ended up staying for over 2 hours, and no one hurried us along. The hospitality was incredible.

A family run business with 300 acres of land producing organic wine as well as virgin and extra virgin olive oil. They had options of wine tasting only for €8 per person (one white, one rosé wine) and wine tasting with snacks for €15 per person (including tomatoes and olives, feta cheese, salami, bread and olive oil). We had the tasting with snacks, which was lovely, but we were expecting a bit more wine to drink considering the price and that it was 2 wines. The lady who talked us through it was nice and friendly. They didn't seem to have a tour on offer as such, but she let us have a look in their wine cellar.

Definitely a place to visit to learn about local winery and olive oil making. 20€ per person for snacks, wine and a tour. I really enjoyed it.

We had a fantastic experience at Theotoky! The tour was the perfect length - informative, fun and we even got to see the grapes being processed up-close! All of the wine we tried was delicious. Most of all, the staff went above and beyond to make our experience special. A big storm came through right at the end of our visit and the power went out. Rather than shut down, the entire staff turned the cellar into a romantic, candle-lit space and were so generous with treating us to extra wine! Such a memorable and once-in-a-lifetime experience!

We tasted delicious wine accompanied by a wonderful buffet. We really loved the environment of the estate.

Loved this tour! We arrived a bit later than our booked time and they were so accommodating. Being able to choose between snacks, snacks & drinks or just drinks made it really flexible for our entire group of 10. Loved seeing the wine cellar & the little film to see how the olive oil is made on site was also very cool. I don't drink so just had snacks, which was great! Those that took part in the wine tasting said it would have been great to also been able to try a red, as the 2 tastings were a white and a rose. I personally would have loved to have been able to walk through the actual vines but overall, highly recommend a stop at this beautiful estate.

A beautiful experience that takes you back in time! Wine was excellent - best one I have had in Corfu as was the olive oil! The grounds reminds me of Tuscany. The staff was very knowledgeable and very friendly! It’s a must see when you visit Corfu!

Nice place to visit in the middle of the vineyards. We had the possibility to do a small tasting with great wines. We didn't do the full tour because of time but would recommend it!

I highly recommend a visit to this winery! The staff is incredibly friendly, and the tour is delightful. You get to taste two white wines included in the price, with the option to try red and rosé wines for an extra fee. Plus, there's an adorable cat welcoming guests—a lovely touch!

Really cosy place, nice tour and degustation. Highly recommend it for wine lovers ❤️

Great fun learning about the winery and their production methods. Tasting the wine was enjoyable and expensive, but the product is quality. Learning about and tasting the olive oil was also a treat. We made purchases at the shop but could justify the cost with our newly found expertise...8 euro for a simple tasting (2 wines), 5 euro for a (small) glass (additional) and purchases from the shop. Not cheap, but deffinate quality.
