It is the southernmost tip of Europe, a place blessed by God and nature. In Crete there is a wide variety of plants, herbs and flowers. The most common tree in Crete is the olive tree. There are large areas where olives are grown and the olive oil produced from these olives is considered to be of very high quality. The climate of Crete is considered ideal for olive cultivation because it is warm and full of light.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Ekstra neitsioliivi\u00f5li\" href=\"https:\/\/critida.com\/et\/critida-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ekstra neitsioliivi\u00f5li<\/a> is a natural juice, produced by pressing the olive fruit.
