🌿 From Tree to Table: The Olive Oil Story

In Greece, the olive harvest season starts in late October and runs through February. Farmers, and even visitors, take part in this ancient tradition, shaking olives from trees into nets on the ground.

It’s hard work, but it all pays off when the freshly harvested olives are taken to the mill to produce that golden, flavorful olive oil. 🫒✨

Did you know Greece is home to 120 million olive trees? For over 4,000 years, olive oil has been more than just a staple—it's a symbol of peace, wisdom, and health. Hippocrates himself praised its benefits, recommending it for longevity and over 60 health issues!

Experience the process, connect with history, and taste the tradition in every drop of pure Greek olive oil. 💛

☕️ In Greece, coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a way of life.

As you walk the streets of Athens, you’ll notice people lingering over their coffee, sometimes for hours. Greek coffee culture is deeply rooted in tradition, starting with the iconic “Ellinikos Kafes”, also known as Greek coffee. This rich and thick coffee is brewed in a small copper pot called a “briki”, and served in a tiny cup. Don’t rush through it—sip it slowly and enjoy every drop! Watch out for the thick residue at the bottom, which you should leave behind.

Did you know Greek coffee was once called Turkish coffee? That changed in 1974, following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, and sparked a shift toward calling it Greek coffee. 🇬🇷

Fast forward to modern times, and the iced freddo espresso and freddo cappuccino have become Greek summer staples. These refreshing drinks are made with strong shots of espresso, shaken, and poured over ice, perfect for cooling off in the summer heat.

And let’s not forget the frappé, Greece’s accidental coffee invention from the 1957 World Expo, which brought a frothy, instant coffee revolution! Though frappé is slowly being replaced by more sophisticated brews, it still holds a special place in Greek coffee culture.

Discover the coffee culture of Athens.

A Glimpse of Athens in Transition 🌿

At the turn of the 19th century, Athens was a city rising from the ashes of conflict and reclaiming its historical glory. After the withdrawal of the Ottoman forces in 1833, this ancient city, once home to just 400 houses around the Acropolis, began its transformation into the vibrant capital we know today.

🏛️ Under the reign of King Othon, Athens was reborn as the heart of modern Greece. This new era brought architectural treasures like the University of Athens, the National Library, and the Old Royal Palace. By the late 1800s, Athens hosted the first modern Olympics in 1896, cementing its place on the global stage.

From a humble population of 4,000, to the bustling city it became after the influx of Greek refugees from Asia Minor in 1922, Athens stands as a testament to resilience and rebirth. 🇬🇷

Step into history every time you visit this timeless city. Let the spirit of Athens guide your journey.

From ancient Greek myths to the vibrant countryside, citrus fruits have been intertwined with life and culture in Greece for centuries. 🍋 🍊 In mythology, the golden apples of the Garden of Hesperides were thought to grant immortality, a tale that lingers in every orange and lemon tree found in the land today.

The fragrance of oranges from Argos, lemons from Poros, and tangerines from Chios not only brings back memories of childhood but also weaves together the essence of Greek tradition.
