Except for essential oils, we also produce dried herbs from wild growing herbs of Crete, such as Sage (S. pomifera), Thyme (T. capitatus), Oregano (O. vulgare), Rosemary (R.officinalis) and Savory (S.thymbra). See here for detailed information
We also produce soaps and shampoo, using our hydrolates, biological olive- and avocado oil and essential oils. We apply a cold production procedure, at a temperature of maximum 28°C in order to preserve the vitamins in the oils and the properties of the hydrolates, or flowerwaters and of the essential oils. More info here.
These products, along with our essential oils are available at our webshop and locally in Crete at the following stores and shops selling biological/ecological products:

FINALLY, in KALLIKRATIS at our own place
We have been building a place far away from civilization, in the mountains of Sfakia, during the last years, a kind of retreat further into the wild nature of Crete, a place which in time will host our destillery as well. So far the distillery is still situated in Modi near Chania. The village of Kallikratis is situated at an altitude of 750m over sealevel and can be reached from the north over Episkopi-Argiroupoli- Miriokefala or from the South from Frangokastello-Patsianos-Kapsodassos, from the southwest from Sfakia-Imbros-Asfendou and from the northwest from Vrisses-Askifou-Imbros-Asfendou. The most beautiful way, however, is to reach the village by the gorge of Kallikratis, a most beautiful E4 walking trek from the village of Patsianos to Kallikratis, a walk of about two and a half hours...
