5.00We had a wonderful visit. Nikolaos and Dimitri were friendly and professional! The tour was informative and short. The olive oil tasting was not only sampling, but also informative! The visit to the store to purchase the amazing oils and soap and lotion products finished the visit!!
A Wonderful Experience at Markellos Olive Grove

5.00My wife and I had an amazing time at Markellos Olive Grove! Nikolaos was a wonder host. He showed us all around the olive grove, explaining the origin of the grove in his family, where the trees came from, and the types of olives they grow. Then we went inside to tour the olive oil production facility. Nikolaos explained the process and how they take great care at each step to make the best olive oil possible from each production run. But the best was yet to come. From the production floor we went upstairs to a room that had an olive oil tasting prepared for us. Before we did that, Nikolaos gave us each a virtural reality headset to put on where we watched in 3D the growing of olives and the production of olive oil Nikolaos had just shown us. We could see the actual gathering and production on olive oil. Very cool! The highlight was the tasting of the oil itself. We got to try four different types of olive oil. I have never had anything in the US that compared to these oils. Truly amazing flavor, with each olive oil having its own characteristic. Sampled them on their own and with different breads. What an experience! The visit to Markellos Olive Grove was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece and highly recommended.

5.00We toured Greece from Athens throughout the Cyclades and had never experienced an olive oil tasting before. Wonderful experience and now We have a bigger appreciation of what is known as Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Nicolaos took the time to explain how olives are cultivated and processed. This is a must for anyone touring in Greece.
Fabulous stop!
