Vrana Olive

TIME : 2016/2/18 18:59:06

Modestly tucked away in the village of Papados, between Mytilini and south-coast Ploumari, the little Vrana Olive-Press Museum showcases 19th-century steam-powered presses and vintage paintings of a bygone era. It also occupies a bit of Greek literary history – it was built by Nicholas Vranas, grandfather of Greek Nobel Prize–winning poet Odysseas Elytis.
