Picking olives

 

We take pride in our olive trees.

In their sheer numbers, they cast their shadow upon the meadow as olives hang between the silvery green leaves, plenty in their numbers. Fruity, as they glisten in the sun, they entice you to pick them, and we cajole you to succumb to the temptation.

Throughout history the olive has become the symbol of peace, glory, fertility and power.

Its branches crowned victors of peaceful games and bloody wars. Its oil has been an integral part of the Mediterranean diet from times untold.

At the villa, we continue the Mediterranean tradition of cultivating olive trees and producing the finest oil, the real “Greek gold”.

You can be part of the ritual that leads from tree to table, from the olive to its oil.

Join us in shaking off the olives and watch them as they rain down to the base of the tree. 

Experience the unique silky feel as you touch and pick them. 

You will be amazed to realize that picking olives is the only manual labor that makes your hands softer.

You can relish the magical moment when earth delivers its gold by creating your own, unique bottle of handpicked olive oil.

You pick your own name and etiquette; you may even design it yourself, and give your personal touch to one of the finest treasures of a truly blessed land.

Let us show you not only how this luxury olive oil is produced, but also how to store, preserve and cook it. 

Its unparalleled nutritional value and its rare, exclusive taste will always take you back to the sunny estate where the olive oil springs from, at Villa Faros.

 

 

My Olive Tree

Planting an olive tree. Your Olive tree.

 

Once you dive into the world of the villa, you will always crave to return. 

What better excuse to be coming back than planting your own olive tree?

A seed ploughed by your own hands, growing to a silvery green tree that will produce its own olive oil - your own olive oil. 

This tree will sprout to be your special bond with the villa and its fertile land. It will flourish as an unbreakable connection, an olivetarian promise that will keep you coming back with smiling open eyes.
