Olive oil routes

Description

A delicious tribute to one of nature's most precious gifts, one that has been offered to the island of Naxos with abundance. Another important yet unsung reflection of the local culture.

Join us for an imaginary trip to different times, when olive oil production was a much more painstaking process and Naxians celebrated in appreciation of what nature so generously offered to them. Enjoy an idyllic olive oil tasting underneath a 5.000 year old olive tree, a living and breathing monument and witness how this island is blessed with fertility and self-sufficiency. Visit an old olive press and try to picture it in operation just a few decades ago, before you enter one of the island’s 5 modern day presses to learn how technology evolved the same basic principles and helped raise the standards of olive oil extraction.
