OliveTree Stores, Nafplion offer products made from
olive wood and other natural products all crafted by
hand. The business is a family run concern which started
as one shop in the village of Tolo, close to Nafplion.
It has since branched out with two other shops supplying
natural products, the latest of which is the Plaka area
of Athens. |

Symbol of wisdom, peace, triumph, wealth and abundance,
the olive is a most precious gift, offered from godess
Athena to the city of Athens.
Olive trees have an almost titanic resistance, a vital
force which renders them nearly immortal. Despite harsh
winters and burning summers, despite being abused they
continue to grow, proud and strong reaching towards the
sky, bearing fruit that nourises and heals, inspires and
amazes.
- Olympic winners were presented with a simple olive
tree branch. The ancient Greeks believed (as do the
modern) that the vitality and the positive energy of the
sacred olive tree was transmitted to the recipient
through the branch.
- Jesus spent his last night before crucifiction in an
olive grove. The power and the aura of the olive trees
helped him the concentrate, meditate and pray.
- Noah after the cataclysm sent a dove to bring to the
ark a sign of life. The dove game back with a branch of
an olive tree in his mouth. Noah knew from this that his
family and the animals could survive famine and
diseases. |
