Oleastro (the wild olive tree) Olive Park, Cyprus


Standing alone on the hill of ‘Mosfilovounos’, amidst the olive trees in the organic olive grove Oleastro, the building is in full harmony with its environment. Its stonewalls, wooden balconies and tiled roofs transport visitors to a village of yesteryear.

Located between Limassol and Paphos on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Anogyra, Oleastro is the brainchild of Andreas and Lina Ellinas. Oleastro is all about teaching the visitor the history of olive oil. A small but dynamic company, Oleastro Enterprises is the market leader in the production of Cyprus organic olive oil. The centre and olive oil museum offer a wealth of information, interesting items to purchase and a good taverna and coffee shop.

A visit to the Olive Park – ‘ Oleastro’ is fun for the entire family giving visitors the opportunity to find out all there is to know about olives.
