The Olive Routes

Autumn memories. 🍂
Captured not by us, but by our guests.

Olive groves, local flavours, shared tables and smiles — The Olive Routes through your eyes.

Not just a season. The perfect season.
And this season, it’s so easy to fall in love. 💚

Thank you for sharing your moments with us.

Let’s go professional. Well...Not us—our guests!

They took over Estia for an exclusive company event, with presentations, fresh ideas and plenty of conversation around the table.

And what was on the table? A menu created especially for them, inspired by traditional Messinian recipes and made to be shared. 🫒

Because Estia, after all, isn’t a restaurant. It’s a venue. It’s a family. It’s a gathering. It’s whatever you and we 've dreamed of. ❤️

What are we looking for? The fresh W**e, of course! 🍷

But first come the grapes, the fresh juice, a few surprises, and the people who make it all happen. That’s what we love about w**e season ...
That's why we love to guide you into all that magic! Οινοποιία Ψαρούλη The Olive Routes

We have the best "job" in the world—simply because of the emotions we experience every day 🫒

Today, I would like to share a more personal connection !

Anna, whom you see next to me in the photo, is from Brazil. She bought my great-grandfather’s house in Stylianou, a small, abandoned village in Messinia.And she brought life...

Today, together with her family, we shared stories, experiences, memories, and emotions.

And somehow, this is how olive trees connect us—through the experiences we create around them. They take us on a journey, bring us closer, and remind us that some connections are deeply rooted. 💚

Thank you Anna ❤️

Do you think our cooking class follows a standard plan? Hmm… definitely not! 😂

We cook whatever every house in our village is cooking that day!

And this week, every kitchen in our village smelled of Fanouropita — so, of course, we made one too.

By the way ..This is also the season when we harvest our local currants, they became part of our recipe—and part of the story we shared around the table.

No fixed recipes, no boring routines… just real local life, seasonal ingredients and a little delicious improvisation! 🌿💛

Messinia

A thousand steps.
One team. One shared journey. 🌿

Every summer, one step forward—learning, creating and growing together.

Because a thousand steps are never taken alone. 💛

Step by step. Summer after summer.

Perhaps this could have been my birthday cake... 🫒🤍

A bowl of extra virgin olive oil.
A bottle for a candle.

After all, we celebrate life every day.

Thank you all for your beautiful wishes and for making my birthday even more special. 💚

Today we welcomed a family of 17.

Three generations, traveling all the way from Canada to spend time together exploring Greece ..

They shared stories, laughed around the same table, tasted olive oil, and simply enjoyed being together.

Family... isn't just about where you come from. It's about creating memories. Passing traditions from one generation to the next.

We feel grateful every time The Olive Routes family becomes a small part of memories of your family...

Because the greatest journeys are the ones we share.

💚 From our family table to yours.

What can bring 20 women from Androusa together for hours?

A legendary Greek sweet called diples!

Yesterday we made 450(!!!) diples for the upcoming feast. Plenty of laughs, lots of stories, and of course, lots of extra virgin olive oil

Thank you all so much for sharing this sweet tradition

Afrer all ...Tradition tastes better when shared.

A slow day in the grove — ripe fruits, quiet corners, and beauty in every little detail. 💛
