MV Properties Presents Olive Harvest Season

Olive harvest season is here. Family and friends come together to collect the olives and prepare the year’s olive oil. This process is a labor of love and involves many different stages with the ultimate reward being able to enjoy your own home-grown olives and fresh olive oil for the months to come. We think it’s safe to say if there is anything that embodies the meaning of prosperity best – it is most definitely the beloved olive tree.

Harvesting your Olives

One of the most compelling reasons to buy property on Ithaca is not just to enjoy the glorious summer months but to take part in the everyday island traditions that take place all year round. Harvesting your own olives is just one of many local traditions that can be enjoyed in the off-season months.

Owning your own home on the island allows you to extend your stay into the quieter months giving you time to enjoy these simple moments of everyday island life.

At MV Properties we are passionate about sharing all aspects of island life with prospective buyers. 

Enjoy our step by step guide to olive harvesting below.

MV Properties Top Walking Trails on Ithaca

MV Properties Top Walking Trails on Ithaca

Each season brings about something new and exciting on Ithaca. From the silver-lined olive groves and the evergreen mountainsides to the turquoise reefs of the coastline and endless streams that flow during the winter months. Just as nature responds to the changing seasons so does our island. The ebb and flow of life on Ithaca is not only good for the body, mind and soul but provides perspective. At MV Properties we are taking the time to appreciate this new season and all that comes with it. Slower days, more time with family and friends and exploring our island are just some of the things we are looking forward to this season.

There are many ways to explore Ithaca but one of the most refreshing and rewarding has to be by foot. The island offers extensive natural trails that enables locals and tourists alike the opportunity to explore areas of the island that are only accessible by walking and allows you to immerse yourself within the surrounding natural beauty. You are bound to be rewarded every step of the way by the magnificent breath-taking views, the reassuring cool breeze of the ocean air and the unforgettable memories which will remain in your heart. Autumn is the perfect time to explore these trails as the weather cools and the islands quietens.
