They did Tuesday and Saturdays 2 years ago because we went on a Tuesday and it was well worth a visit. We'll probably visit again this year, if only to stock our fridge up on the very cheap beer!. The ginger beer they do is absolutely delicious...it has a hint of lemon in it too, very low alcohol but soooo refreshing during the daytime! You must go...enjoy!

Forgot to mention...my hubby absolutely loves the dark real ale that they produce too. He actually prefers it to Guinness and that's saying something coming from an Irish family!

Been going up every year, tours only on Saturdays now. Bottled beer available at very low prices! beware long walk down though, and no "facilities" till the Rainbow! well worth a tour round though.

We must have walked a different way as we came across quite a few facilities on the way...shops and tavernas...there was a lovely taverna not too far away, on a corner, where we stopped and had a drink before the brewery opened and afterwards for a small snack. I have mentioned this place before and I'm cross with myself for forgetting the name again!
It was 2 years ago but I can remember it having a hammock and lots of birds swooping around!. The owners had a baby daughter, she must have been no older than 8 months. They served very large ouzos at a very good price too!
 Most of all, they were so friendly! We were going to return one evening but just didn't get around to it. However, we will definitely be returning in August...
