About Paragaea – Old Olive Oil Factory, Parga
Before tourism, olive oil was Parga's main industry, and the olive groves that cover its hills go back to the Venetian period. Paragaea is a private museum in a restored olive-oil press in the town. It opened in June 2012, and the building worked as an olive-oil factory from 1929 to 1974.
The museum shows the traditional way of making olive oil, using the original tools and machinery. Visits end with an olive-oil tasting.
Good to know
- It's in the town of Parga, so you can visit it on the same day as Parga Castle.
- It's a private museum, so check its hours and prices with the museum before you go.
