Olive Tree Festivals

Olive trees and Mediterranean: a unique harmonious coexistence, perfectly connected and identified for centuries create a special culture, the culture of the Olive Tree, a part of the Mediterranean Culture.

The olive trees coexist with humans in almost all Neolithic settlements of the eastern Mediterranean, including Cyprus. Thus, the existence of monumental olive trees, due to age or natural characteristics, is expected.

Paramali, Agglisides, Silikou and Nikitari village, have been blessed with a very large number of centuries-old olive trees, which are a point of reference and cultural heritage for each village. These trees are a source of inspiration for the festivals that will honour them, emphasizing their value, as well as the unique olive oil that, which apart from being a key ingredient of the Mediterranean diet, was also the first cosmetic in the world.

The Olive Tree Festivals host exhibitors, experiential workshops, olive oil tasting, rich local gastronomy, and a musical program with dances and live Greek concerts.
