Olive Harvest at Ktima Kakkavos

At Kakkavos Estate, one of Greece’s largest farms with 6,000 olive trees near Messolonghi, Central Greece, the seasonal olive harvest is a grand agricultural event. Join the estate team in gathering olives from this extraordinary 40-hectare grove in historic Messolonghi country. Kakkavos Estate manages a 40-Ha farm, one of the largest in Greece, with 6,000 olive trees, and is located 5 km outside the town of Messolonghi, between the large Acheloos and Evinos rivers and the Mesolonghi lagoon. The estate belongs to our family since 1870 and has recently been extended, reviving cultivations using modern scientific methods that respect both the tradition of the olive tree and the environment, to produce Kalamata olives as well as olive oil from four different varieties of olive trees.
