The art of nature
Olive Tree Route,
Kythera
Kythera, a luminous place, enchanting you at first sight. Under the sun that bathes the earth, a breath from the sea that embraces the coast, stands the olive tree. Its roots have watered the inhabitants with life for centuries and its long presence on the island has left its traces in the natural and cultural landscape of the island. We suggest you discover these traces by following the path of the olive tree in Kythera, a cultural route of flavours, tradition and history that connects the past of the olive tree with the present and the future. A route that highlights the symbolic, social and economic importance of the olive tree for the inhabitants of the island, explaining why in Kythera the olive tree is not just a tree. It is part of their tradition, their history and their continuity.
