The Agreco Farm is idyllic in the mountains, nestled among olive trees and vines. The farm offers a package for 58 euros. Be sure to book in advance (minimum 2 days, maximum 7 days in advance) In a guided tour you will learn more about the production of olive oil, wine, honey and much more. In a subsequent 10-course dinner (excellent but far too much) you can enjoy the view over the mountains at sunset and experience very good service. Even if it comes very touristy (per setting about 60-70 guests, mostly buses from Grecotels) it was a welcome change for us. The whole team really gives everything for a nice dining experience. There were 8 of us at a fantastically set round table, quiet and away from the tour groups. The tours were also conducted in small groups. The range of dishes is based on the regional availability of the home grown products. The abundance of appetizers has struck us, here we would have liked a short break again and again. Those looking for fish or seafood are wrong here. Meat lovers will get their money's worth. Slowly grilled (4 hours) pork, chicken and lamb. Highly recommended.

18 months before we hoped to get married, I landed upon Agreco Farm’s website. Genuinely, we thought that it was too good to be true because in comparison to the UK the price was incredible. However, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to secure a date and after checking lots of reviews and speaking with Agreco’s own wedding planner, we paid our deposit. In the space leading up to our wedding, we visited the venue twice and both times we had a 10/10 experience. I cried every single time I drove up to the venue because I was so amazed at how beautiful it was. The team, Yiorgos and our wedding planner Maria treated us like family and I honestly didn’t have one concern leading up to the big day. They was so relaxed and just made us feel that everything would be fine on the day - I think the raki also helped! I highly recommend their tasting nights even if you aren’t getting married there. We ate and drank so much but it was such a wonderful, authentic experience.
I never had any concerns about communication and I was assisted with every aspect of the wedding. The day itself was faultless. It was unnaturally calm in the morning despite the increasing temperature, our flowers were put out at the last second as per the advice of Maria and our wonderful supplier Kentia flowers to save them from wilting (highly recommend. They’re based on Rethymo and I’ve attached photos of the displays) I noticed extra things had been put out like little sun parasols that I hadn’t paid for but Maria must have just thought it was a nice touch. There was too many things to say but lots of extras that you just wouldn’t get in the UK without paying a lot more for! The wine was beautiful and the servers literally didn’t stop. No ones glass was empty and everyone commented on how delicious the food was! As the sun set, we fell in love with the venue over and over again. It looks so different throughout the day and that is the beauty of an outdoor wedding. Our DJ was absolutely fantastic (Aristotle Manoudakis) and we literally danced all night. It felt like we was in Mamma Mia.
I couldn’t recommend a wedding venue more and we can’t wait to visit again!

Fantastically beautifully situated farm with fabulous views of the hilly landscapes and the sea. We could easily book the tour from the hotel. Motivated employees inform visitors about the life of the old farmers and the production of their specialties such as olive oil, sheep cheese with honey or wine. You can also visit the animals and then have dinner at sunset. Little "warning": The main courses are very large and extremely fine, so it is better not to eat too much of the appetizers already. The meat is very tender and perfectly seasoned, the waiters are very nice and accommodating and the ambience is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Fabulous and memorable evening while w/ my family of 8 and four dear dear friends. We arrived for 6:30 tour, which was casual but remarkable planned/served & included delicious tastings, really an appetizer for the meal to come. Lots of information re: organic farm. Our party included 5 kids and our babykins, who were able to roam grounds closely, whilst we ordered and waited on servings. Open air seating overlooking Agreco olive groves and a SUNSET!! One of the best meals experienced! [BTW, our "beach friends" overheard and had also made a reservation, were at nearby table, so kids had 2 more friends onsite ...also thrilled w/ the meal.] Many many waves of beautifully prepared, exquisitely tasting rustic breads, dips, salads, cheeses, chicken/lamb (our choices), roasted vegetable platters, wines, raki. Loved all the servers, impeccably dressed, trained and at our service. One beautiful night out in Crete. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Nonnie ii B

If you're dreaming of a destination wedding in Greece that’s authentic, stress-free, and seamlessly planned, look no further than Agreco Farms. My husband and I highly recommend this stunning venue to anyone seeking a magical wedding experience with the full support of an experienced team—all by simply booking one venue.
Agreco Farms exceeded our expectations in every way. As a multinational couple with friends and family scattered across the globe, we wanted a wedding that brought everyone together in a breathtaking location. Greece was our top choice for its beauty, charm, and reasonable pricing, and Agreco Farms turned out to be absolutely perfect.
Our wedding took place at the Antikristo restaurant, which boasts a gorgeous view, an abundance of delicious food, and outstanding service. A special shoutout to Antonis, whose warm hospitality made the evening even more special!
A huge thank you to our incredible wedding planner, Aikaterini, who made the entire process stress-free. She was responsive, patient, and incredibly helpful every step of the way. We also want to recommend our amazing vendors—especially Katie from Zerbera Flowers for the breathtaking floral arrangements, and our baker for creating the most delicious wedding cake.
We were lucky to have perfect weather in October (despite hearing it can be a bit unpredictable), and the venue also provided a shuttle from Rethymno, ensuring our guests had a smooth and easy journey. The sound system was excellent, and we danced the night away, making unforgettable memories.
To the entire Agreco Farms team—thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Our wedding was beyond anything we could have imagined, and we are forever grateful. If you’re considering Agreco Farms for your big day, don’t hesitate—you won’t regret it!

We got married at Agreco Farm on 05.09.2023, it was a day of dreams made real by the incredible Caterina and bar/waiting staff at the venue. The place is just beautiful, it is truly authentic with real rustic charm and very romantic. We knew it would be picturesque from the photos we’d seen online but we were blown away. The charm, hospitality and food was next to non.
Our guests loved the venue, some went back for a meal the following nights of our wedding. Many of our guests said it was the best food they’d had ever at a wedding before. We had been for a tour and tasting evening a couple nights prior to our wedding date with both of our parents and we highly recommend this, the wine and cheese was delicious and there was so so much food!!
We highly recommend Agreco Farm as a wedding venue in Crete, we had looked around and visited some Greek islands the year prior for our venue and kept coming back to Agreco Farm as it is so authentically Cretan and utterly charming. We’re so glad we did and wouldn’t change a thing. We also recommend Agreco farm for dinner and tour as this was a lovely and special evening that we will never forget, it was something that you don’t get to experience every day and an insight to how the farm operates to provide delicious food, raki and wine!
We can’t thank Caterina and the team enough for our amazing day. It was the best day of our lives, our vision came to life and exceeded our expectations! We can’t wait to come back to visit in the future!
Also to note, we didn’t have a wedding planner and booked the suppliers recommended by Agreco. Pics attached.

It looks like a nice tourist trap! Visit the “farm” where you are shown everything that you can then buy at the shop. Average meal except the meat which was very good. The bill was steep... 4 people 1 glass of wine 2 ouzos and 1 beer €250!!!

We did the evening farm tour and dinner. Such good value for money at Euro 59 each. The tour of the farm was really interesting, made better by our wonderful guide, Vivi. She spoke brilliant English and had a great personality and sense of humour. We enjoyed tasting the home made olive oil, raki, honey and cheese, meats and wine tasting! We were quite full with all that and then came the delicious Cretan dinner in beautiful surroundings at sunset. What a beautiful place. The food was quite amazing and there was so much of it! The wine flowed and all the staff were brilliant. Shout out to Vivi and Demetrius who were so great. A truly wonderful evening.

We got married at Agreco Farm in July and it was just like a fairy tale! The perfect day from start to finish and we have made the most amazing memories.
The farm and setting is just stunning with its rustic charm and picturesque views. The decorative lighting added to the magic of the evening and made it feel extra special.
From the day we booked our wedding at Agreco Farm, the team were attentive and couldn’t do enough to make sure our day was just as we hoped it would be. They were extremely organised and accommodated all of our needs. Chrysi was our main point of contact throughout the planning process. Her communication and attention to detail was brilliant, coordinating suppliers and helping with final touches to make the most memorable day for both us and our guest.
The food on the wedding day was out of this world and the service was second to none. Everyone thought the standard of food and drink was exceptional. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the food and the taverna when we next visit Rethymnon.
We couldn’t recommend Agreco Farm enough for a wedding venue! If you are looking for a traditionally Greek setting with fabulous food and service, this is the venue for you! Thank you to Chrysi and her wonderful team again!

We ate at the farm through a Grecotel.
First there was a great tour of the products, which you could also try straight away. Everyone was really warm and friendly.
Afterwards there were various specialties from the farm.
All of them were delicious! We can only recommend this "trip" to the farm to Wärmsteins!

A farm-to-table restaurant where the restaurant is in the middle of the farm. We had a very nice lunch here overlooking the hillside. The set menu included salad, a bruschetta-like appetizer on rusk, vegetables stuffed with rice, roast lamb and potatoes. Afterward, we walked the grounds. A very pleasant afternoon.

We held our daughter's wedding here. It is a beautiful venue, essentially outdoors on a hill with stone terraces and buildings replicating a traditional Greek village. The wedding was a Greek Orthodox ceremony with about 80 people. We are from the US, and arranging a wedding oversees seemed like it could be a challenge, however the staff at Agreco Farm made it easy and worry free. Aikaterini, our wedding coordinator with Agreco Farm was wonderful and helped us arrange the live music, flowers, DJ, cake, photographer, Priests, venue arrangements, and the wedding schedule. The other supporting staff were extremely attentive to our requests before and during the event. The reception wine tasting and traditional Greek dinner was delicious. The alternative for the wedding venue was a Florida beach club, and we are so glad our daughter chose Agreco Farm.

As Father of the Bride I was concerned that my Daughter & her Fiance had booked a Greek farm for their wedding venue, a working Greek animal farm with goats to boot. We were familiar with goat farms as we had seen many in Fuerteventura, the memories I had were the strong smell and the flies. So I was worried.
However, while staying at a nearby hotel and awaiting my Daughter to return from the pre-wedding visit to the farm I was getting more and more nervous, as so many family and friends had come all the way with us to celebrate the wedding.
As I scanned the pool area from my sun longer I saw my daughter return. I desperately studied her for signs of disappointment as she chatted with other members of our group. I couldn't discern one way or the other, and thought that can't be a bad thing.
When she approached me I was so relieved to hear that she loved it and everything about it, especially the people. She was brimming with excitement as she relayed all the details. Nevertheless, I thought it can't be that good. I did actually say what are the negatives, she said, there would be the sound of cicadas in the trees. What relief, I love cicadas.
The Big Day itself came and I went to the farm several hours before the wedding to join my Wife, Daughter and Bridesmaids. It was beautiful. There are not enough words to describe how magical and amazing this venue is. The authenticity, the scenery, the flowers, the atmosphere, oh and the food and wine, absolutely stunning.
It was all a fairy-tale come true, everything went so well, it was so charming and beautiful. The staff were absolutely amazing, all so very polite and attentive, as were the makeup and hair stylist, the violinists and photographers videographers. It all came together perfectly, and we felt so welcomed and relaxed the whole day, and it was a day filled with love and fun.
Thank you all very very much.

Yesterday we visited the amazing wedding venue of Agreco Farms. Maria and Katarina gave us a warm welcome and showed us around. This lovely authentic Greek venue has so many possibilities for your wedding reception, ceremony, dinner and dance party. On the plus side they make their own olive oil, wine and raki and grow their own vegetables on the farm. You can have drinks or the dinner between the olive trees with an amazing view over their olive yard. We are completely in love with this venue and the staff.

Dinner at Agreco Farms was highly promoted but we really didn’t know what to expect. We were told by the concierge that they only have a 6:30PM tour followed by dinner at 7pm.
Agreco Farms ran 2 simultaneous tours and then have a big dinner after. Tour guide talked about the making of olive oil and wine and honey - along with samplings of each. The dinner was in an open area outdoors and was a set menu. Service was excellent. We had so much food. I think portion sizes should be adjusted because so much food was left uneaten. Love the freshness of the food - vegetables, fruits. The slow cooked meats were delicious! It was approx 160 euros for the 4 of us. In all, a good Cretan experience but it was a very long dinner that we prob would not repeat.
