Description


Crete Local Life Safari: Olive Mills, Gorge Crossing and Villages

Vouves Ancient Olive Tree

In the charming village of Vouves, lies a remarkable natural treasure - the world's oldest olive tree. This ancient marvel, proclaimed as a natural monument, continues to thrive even after an estimated 3000 to 5000 years. It started as a wild olive tree, until it was embraced and cultivated by humans through the Tsounati variety. The timeless sculpture-like bole of this tree stands proud with a circumference of 12.5 meters and a diameter of 4.6 meters, a testament to the passage of time and the resilience of nature.
