Odysseus may once have sailed the Mediterranean, but the conflicts, the events and the politics of our time no longer allow us to sail freely in the Mediterranean and wander its shores as we used to. For this reason, we propose to those who want to discover the civilisation of the olive tree, the tree of light and symbol of the Mediterranean, short local routes, hiking, bicycle, car or motorbike
Short hiking & cycling routes
Walking or cycling through the olive groves pleasantly stimulates all the senses: touching the trunk of a century-old olive tree, breathing in the smell of freshly milled olives in an olive mill, gazing at the landscape through the silvery leaves of the olive trees, listening to the breeze blowing through their delicate foliage… It’s a unique experience, discover our suggestions here:
