The Peloponnese is world-renowned for its olive cultivation, which dates back up to 5,000 years. The area around Kyllini and the neighboring prefecture of Elis (Ilia) is characterized by extensive olive groves, where many trees are hundreds of years old.
Olive trees are considered sacred in Greece and are often protected from being cut down. They symbolize resilience, wisdom, and hope.
The most widely cultivated variety in the Peloponnese is the Koroneiki olive, known for its high-quality, fruity olive oil.
