The Olive Grove
In the region of Trifilia in north west Messinia of Peloponnesos there is a small village on the mountains called Sellas in an altitude of 500 meters where this single family olive grove is located. The area has its own special microclimate with fresh air and water springs where the olive trees are surrounded only by mountains.
