Filoti

The largest settlement on the island is a beautiful village amphitheatrically built on the foothills of mount Zeus. The sprawled branches of an imposing old plane tree lavishly provide the guests with shadow. The most renowned church of the district is Panagia Filotitissa (the Holy Mary of Filoti). The current building was established in the 18th century and boasts a three-bell tower with exquisite carved details. In front of the church lies the Ecclesiastic and Folklore Museum of Filoti. There, guests have the chance to see how a traditional house used to be and admire some of the relics and icons of the church.

Olive groves stretch out in front of us all along the route. Olive oil has always been an integral part of the island's culture. A stop at a restored olive mill is considered essential. There you can watch how this “liquid gold” was once painstakingly prepared, as well as sample its delectable olive oil products.
