What you'll do
Join us during the olive harvest period in Syros ,during the months of October and November, and enjoy a local cultural tradition that has remained largely unchanged for thousands of years, going back to the Ancient Greece. Join the local community, help pick the olives and make your own olive oil.
Our olive harvest vacations are only available for a few weeks from October to November during the harvesting season and it is an ideal opportunity to join us either during the olive picking or combine it with accommodation for a different kind of winter holiday.
A couple of hours of olive picking every other day are followed by picnics under the olive trees. There will beOlive workshops and cooking workshops with an olive theme and natural cosmetics workshops where guests will learn how to make olive oil soap.

Meet your host
At Anassa Cycladic Village, the core of our philosophy is that we are a family run village. We are a family of romantics, dreamers, engineers, travellers, sailsmen, designers, architects and amateur cooks, book lovers , fun loving, loud, nature lovers and gardeners.
We decided to bring our passions, crafts, skills and knowledge together into this project that we designed and built ourselves step by step, tree by tree with lots of effort and love.
Born and raised by the Aegean Sea, we all travelled the world for our studies, adventures and work. Our common love for our island, for Cycladic life and history, nature and hospitality brought us together again to fulfill our childhood dream to create a sustainable community that will grow and grow and grow for generations to come.
At Anassa Cycladic Village you are treated as family, because there is no business like family business!
