Old Olive Tree
About
On Crete, Old Olive Tree (planted ca. 480 years ago /2020.) stands at Efesoi 63, Iraklio 712 02, Greece, in the island's capital area. The tree is known for its age, planted roughly 480 years before 2020 according to the name it carries. First-time visitors can expect a single living landmark rather than a large site with facilities.
A 4.6 out of 5 rating from 26 reviews reflects a small but positive response from those who stop to see it. Heraklion, where it stands, is the island's main city and arrival point, so reaching it from the port or airport is simple. Chania, Rethymno, Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Sitia, Matala and Elafonisi lie elsewhere on Crete along the road network.
Greek is the main language, written in the Greek alphabet, which also appears on road signs and menus. The Greek islands have a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters. Orthodox Easter is the biggest religious festival, and village panigyria mark saints' days through the summer.
The islands split between the Aegean and the Ionian, and Lefkada is joined to the mainland by a bridge. Visitors based in Heraklion can reach the tree without leaving the city. A stop here fits naturally into a day spent exploring the capital before heading to the coast.
