Lithies Houses Villas - in Vasilikos Zakynthos Island - Vassilikos Zante Villas Greece

Zakynthos (Zante)  island, Greece :: Lithies organic agricultural farm :: accommodation and eco activities

All the villa houses are located in an olive grove close to the beautiful pine forest of Vassilikos. The cultivation of the olive trees and the collection of the olives are done by the family with respect to the environment and tradition.

Olive grove
Our small olive grove underlines the strength and determination of the village people, if you consider that a hundred years ago on this grove there were only nine olive groves whereas today there are more than 400.
In those days all the farm work was done without mechanical means and there were many difficulties with cultivation. Today the process is easier and the produce of the olive trees is much better in terms of quantity and quality of the olive oil.

Our vineyard

Apart from the olive trees another important cultivation for the family is the vineyard.
Each year we bet with ourselves about the improvement of the quality of the wine we produce.
There are many stages in cultivating the vineyard from January to February; the burning of the vine branches, the spraying for disease free plants. The gathering of the grapes in September, the crushing of the grapes by foot, putting the must in the barrels and observing the fermentation to produce good local wine.
On our farm depending on the season you will see many other trees full of fruit, in summer apricots, figs and cherries and in winter oranges, lemons and mandarins.
