Olive Press Building: This 400 years old olive press is the most impressive part of “Monastiriako”. The original olive press is inside a stone building with a large arch and three old windows. It is the biggest olive press in the Rethymno province. It seems that it used to produce the olive oil of the area up until the early 1960’s. Nowadays this is where we have created the bar of “Monastiriako” and the guests can enjoy a drink and have dinner or lunch upon request.
