We will visit one of the oldest olive presses of Corfu, that has been operating since the 19^th century which turned to a museum in 1970. We will learn about the three phases of oil extraction, through the old machines preserved in the museum, namely crushing, removing olive juice, and separating olive oil from olive-residue (murga). Additionally, we will see lots of containers, vessels, and tools for the storage of olive oil as well as photos depicting moments of the agricultural life of olive oil producers in the past.

It constitutes a folklore treasure trove of Corfu, captivating visitors with the numerous original and rare objects.

We will learn about the agricultural life of past generations, the occupations of people, the way they used to maintain family-, culture- and religion-related traditions and we will let our imagination fly just for one day to a Corfiot farmhouse of the 18^th century.

We will have the chance to see an accurate representation of a traditional house of that era, including rooms’ furnishing, a collection of agricultural tools, household goods and ecclesiastical items. Moreover, there are original men and women costumes, weaving and cobbler tools, old measuring tools, paintings, and numerous everyday items.

Let’s take some time for a delightful Greek coffee break. In this amazing landscape, among the historical buildings, we will enjoy a fragrant Greek coffee. For Greeks, enjoying coffee is like washing your face in the morning – a daily ritual revered for its strong taste and enticing aroma.

This is the perfect setting to enjoy a home-cooked local snack, a peaceful break before continuing our journey.
