Olive oil museum – Chlomos village

The corfiot family introduces you to the world of quality Corfiot extra virgin
olive oil, with authentic experiences of knowledge and taste.

There are a beautiful museum housed in a traditionally built stone building next to the olive mill and is an excellent example of a small, pre-industrial, horse-powered olive oil mill,which retains all the important authentic features of Corfu island architecture and agriculture of the period.

One of the members of the family is always available to personally
welcome and guide the visitors, explaining all the stages of olive oil production: the steady way of horse-powered grinding, the clever compression mechanism, and finally the storing process, in which the design and construction of bulky masonry plays an important role in order to regulate temperature.
Next, there is the tasting of olive oil, which clearly explains the basic elements of the different qualities of olive oil so that visitors know the right way to taste it and what to look out for when buying olive oil. The end of the tour is introduced with a traditional Corfiot treat, with olive oil and locally baked fresh bread, allowing the visitors to sample the taste at its fullest!

In the shop you can find a big viriety of different sorts of olive oil, local sweets, cosmetics and hind made olive wood products.

After we will walk through the village of Chlomos. A picturesque village with venetian architecture and stunning views of the mountains of Epirus will not leave you indifferent.

Our last stop at Marathias beach. One of the most beatiful sandy beach located on the west coast of the island.
