Eggares Olive Press Museum

Restored village olive press on Naxos showing how island olive oil was traditionally made.

Eggares Olive Press Museum is a small, satisfying stop in the Naxos countryside. Set in a restored traditional press, it explains the old machinery, labour, and seasonal rhythm behind one of the island’s everyday staples: olive oil.

The museum works well as part of a village-and-interior drive rather than a standalone expedition. It gives texture to Naxos beyond beaches and temples, and tastings or product displays often make the visit feel practical as well as historical.
