Excellent experience, I highly recommend it! Welcomed by the owner of the shop and his wife, we got a beautiful tasting of various olives, olive oils and more , it was delicious and very well described by the owner, sharing the story of the family production in Sparta. The shop is located in central Athens in a busy small street with many locals coming to buy from the shop while we were tasting.

Must do experience for olive lovers

Russell_P, Jan 2025

The experience took place at a very nice olive store near the market area in the center. We got to sample 2 olive oils and many types of delicious olives. The store is operated by a very sweet couple who are very knowledgeable about olives and oil. Their product are sourced from family orchards and direct from other growers, not from olive wholesalers. The results are olives of exceptional quality, During the tasting we were offered extras of our favorites. Afterwards we tried the smoothest and best Ouzo and Ouzo/Mastic blend. At the end we were given a bag of our favorite olives and we were able to purchase vacuum sealed bags to bring home. This experience was one of the highlights of our trip and I recommend it to all olive lovers.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Dear Russell, we are grateful for your kind and detailed description of your visit to our store and olive tasting! We also thank you for sharing our family olive oil production story and appreciating the quality of our products in your review. It is nice to know our olive tasting was one of the highlights of your Greek trip! Warm greetings from Athens, ROE olives family

The owner was a very friendly man and we tasted a range of olives, sunflower oil and greek traditional liquer outside his store. We were told about the making of all these products in a lot of detail. Would 10/10 recommend. (Bring a bottle of water as youre eating a LOT of olives)
