Venetian Olive Grove of Lefkada

In the North of the town of Lefkada, stretches a unique historical olive grove, a living monument of nature and time. Planted in 1684, when the Venetians encouraged agriculture over fishing, the area filled with centuries-old trees. Poet Angelos Sikelianos once described it as “the most impressive forest he had ever seen.
