Make your own Olive Oil

Tradition and experience go along together in Costa Navarino. For the second year now Olive Harvesting, an age-old tradition in Greece, has become part of the Messinian Authenticity programme, taking place in our own landscape.  

All of our guests have the opportunity to learn first hand one of the daily life parts of every Messinian, get involved with the traditional method of collecting the olives and discover the way to produce your own olive oil.

We invite you to actively participate and collect olives with the preferred Costa Navarino way by laying the nets around the trees, striking the branches with long sticks and causing olives to fall. During the demonstration and participation guests may also get information on the local olive varieties and olive tree planting as well as the different steps occured until we get the sack full. To further enrich the process of Costa Navrino Olive Harvesting Experience we will visit the nearby mill and show you how the oil is being pressed and bottled while you are enjoying a tasting session.

Please note that the Olive Harvesting demonstration and participation takes place twice a week, upon request, for a minimum participation of 2 persons and one day notice in advance.

Furthermore Costa Navarino Olive Harvesting Experience, is organized once a week or upon request, with a minimum participation of 4 persons and one day notice in advance. Please also note that specific fees apply in this option.
