The best experience!

The family at Logothetis Organic Farm are truly the most caring and loving individuals, operating an ethical and nurturing organic farm focusing on the creation of the purest olive oil we have ever tasted. We attended a two hour private olive oil tasting with our kind host Dionyssis, the owner of the organic farm. He is very knowledgeable and a great speaker, we were able to learn a lot about proper olive oil selection and tasting. Our trip out to the farm to view the various trees and understand the harvesting process led us to a hilltop seating arrangement overlooking Zakythos where we tasted the pure Logothetis organic olive oil. Lovely experience all around, and we have new friends in Zakythos from it :)

Great experience

It was our third visit to Vasilikos and we loved it the most. We stayed at Logothetis for 9 days. We rented two houses in the village side of the farm - closer to the restaurants and the beaches. It is opposite Hanna Me ceramic studio. The houses are simple but really nicely decorated and have all amenities needed, incl. the dishwasher and the washing machine. The surroundings are vast, full of olive trees, chickens, turkeys wandering around. Peaceful and quiet. The owner is laid-back, nice and helpful. We visited his olive factory and we really adore him for doing this the old, traditional way. The olive oil is amazing. I love Vasi

Great stay at an olive farm

We stayed in Rizolia House and it was absolutely incredible; brilliant traditional design with so much character! It had a very large terrace and its own garden with a hammock, it was the perfect setting to relax and enjoy nature. Stepping into the house was dreamy, romantic and reminiscent of a different era. The interior is spacious and stylish with beautiful traditional decor. The property was very clean and in great condition! It is so easy to see Dionyssis and Angela have put so much love into creating something truly special and of great quality. They have an exceptional eye for detail and excellent taste! Their olive oil is made using a traditional olive press (a must see!) located at their organic shop which is unfortunately very rare nowadays, it is excellent! We were so excited to be there and enjoyed our stay immensely and look forward to visiting again soon.

Beautiful authentic paradise surrounded by nature

We stayed 3 nights in the Logothetis Ecofarm and are really happy with our stay. This is the real Greek experience you are looking for. Forget about the standard apartments and head out to the comfortable and authentic cottages on the ecofarm.
We stayed in the Baraca house. It’s a real pearl! The garden with the outsite shower is marvelous. We used the bikes constantly to go the beaches and restaurants which is really convenient.
Dionyssis welcomed us when we arrived.
Be sure to participate in the olive oil tasting and cooking. The venur is wonderful and fully equiped. Dionyssis learned us everything about the production of the olive oil.
On our last day after checking out we could use the outside shower at Dionyssis house which was great!
We hope to come back.
The welcome basket with products from the farm is great!

Perfect stay in authentic Zakynthian setting

Vasilikos is arguably the best area of the island. Very close to many sandy beaches, lots of greenery, away from mass tourism.
The property offers secluded well-appointed houses in a scenic environment. The pictures do not do justice to the houses. In fact, the houses are so nice, that we didn't mind the unexpected storms, which stranded us in house, during our July vacation!

Lovely stay!

The place had horses, donkeys and cows, which would be nice and all, but they were not cared properly. The animals were separately tied to trees here and there along the road. During our stay, the weather was hot but none of the animals had access to water. We carried them some water and they were VERY thirsty. We did this until an employee told us to stop (apparently we were disturbing a rhythm where the animals were given water ONCE per day.) 

The ropes the animals were tied with seemed very short, maybe 2-4 meters. Especially the horses had often eaten everything even remotely edible in the small area they could reach. Many of them had clearly visible ribs, which is a sign of malnutrition. The owner said that as long it's spring and there's still fresh grass on the ground, they will just move the animals to new spots, not actually feed them. 

There was a young foal with a leg injury. The foal was not able to stand or walk properly, and it kept tripping over sharp branches and the rope its mother was tied with. Not exactly an optimal environment for recovery.

There were two donkeys that had rope tied to their heads. The rope was so strictly tied that the other one had a large wound full of buzzing flies underneath it. Both donkeys' hooves had also clearly been neglected for a long time. They were broken and grown so long that their legs were forced to an unnatural looking position. It seemed painful, too.

When we asked the owner about this he said that he has had animals for a very long time and thus knows how to take care of them. However, it seems that experience alone does not guarantee adequate skills for keeping animals in a decent manner. 

It seems that the place keeps animals mainly as a cosmetic detail for the guests to enjoy. However, we did not find seeing this kind of animal neglect and suffering very enjoyable. Seeing something this sad had a huge negative impact on our holiday.

If you stay there, you'll be forced to see animal suffering

The accommodation is nice enough but this is definitely not an organic farm.  All the animals, Pigs, dogs, cows etc are tied to trees or posts.  If you want to stay in basic traditional houses then this is the place for you, and the chickens and turkeys do roam free which is nice.  But for me the idea of visiting this farm was that it was an organic farm where the animals were at the very least not tied up all day and at Logothetis farm this is not the case.

Nice place but not an organic farm

I've been to Crete for 10 years. I'm not sorry that in 2017 I chose this location. Everything was WOW ... It's not for those who want HOTEL 5 *. It's for those who like to stay in nature! Surely we'll see you again this year!
Greetings from Romania!

Here I come back with pleasure

Nice little houses-we had the yellow ones, with kitten and kitchen and lots of small animals introduced to us and our 1years old daughter, fully equipped house, private and relaxed atmosphere, bicycles for free and products from the farm, the owners and stuff very friendly and fantastic beaches, restaurants and supermarket very close. Definately recommended
