Wondering if anyone has had a positive and affordable experience with an olive oil tasting in any one of the following: Chania, Nafplio, Hydra Town, or Santorini (Oia)?

In Chania check out Wanderlust Tours. They have a great olive oil and wine tasting tour. We did three tours with them in May.

Have done several olive oil tastings. One is enough. They are pretty much a door into buying goods after the tasting. They usher you through the store area, like the airports forcing you to walk through the duty free area. You probably get some bread cubes you can dip into different oils.
That is pretty much it. If it is a one off farm they will only have their oils. The oil will not be anywhere near any kind of a deal even though you are onsite of the production.
