Valdanos Olive Grove

This guided walking tour takes you through thousands of wild and cultivated olive trees, many of which are over 800 years old, spread across the sun-kissed valley of Valdanos.

More than a grove, this is a living monument, a sacred landscape shaped by generations of families who cultivated the land, harvested its fruits, and preserved a unique way of life.

As you stroll along the stone-lined paths, your local guide will share captivating stories of the grove's history, from Illyrian roots to Ottoman-era farming, and from pirate legends to the modern-day efforts to preserve this ecological and cultural treasure.

You’ll:

• Walk under the shade of ancient olive trees.
• Visit hidden corners of the grove with panoramic views of the Adriatic
• Learn about traditional harvesting methods and tools
• Taste the locally-produced olive oil
• Visit a small family-run olive mill (seasonal, only during the olive harvest) and meet locals who carry on centuries-old traditions

This experience is perfect for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, photographers, and anyone looking to slow down and connect with the land.
