9 Days... Being active on peaceful Kythera – step by step – from olive to oil
Have you ever been curious about harvesting olives? Then you must visit Greece in late autumn and experience how different daily life can be on an inspiring island such as Kythira. There are hardly any tourists, you are alone with the Greeks and the island is unspoilt. During the day, you will be very active, immersed in nature, harvesting olives or walking. Late in the afternoon at home, after a warm and refreshing shower, you will recover from another energetic day, with the heating turned on, a glass of ouzo, the candles burning and a good book. All that remains is to go out for dinner in one of the tavernas in Potamos.
So: complete relaxation together with strenuous activities – the perfect combination to get away from your daily routine, to escape a bit from your daily life.
The olive walking weeks in summary:
Enjoying an active autumn on the Greek island of Kythera
A week immersed in nature
Completely away from normal routine
Emptying your mind
3 olive picking days
2 walking days
1 free day

Since 2003 we have lived on the island of Kythira in the village of Potamos. In 2009 we bought the ruined house next door, our dream was to transform this beautiful ruin into a unique and spacious holiday home. After 50 years in ruins Pyrgos House finally re-opened its doors in summer 2010.
Pyrgos is Greek for tower. Within living memory, inhabitants of Potamos know the traditional village house as Pyrgos because of its height and aristocratic look. Now, fully restored, we have returned the house to its former glory. The location, the views, the original outside staircase with surprising lines, and the beautiful arches make Pyrgos House a unique and striking house which has already been photographed many times.
The house is located in a narrow and quiet alley in the friendly and historic residential of Panaretianika. From the balcony on the front the view over the green hills in the direction of Logothetianika is stunning.
With a stay in Potamos you will submerge yourselves in Greek village life. Around the village square there is a bakery, a butcher shop, a small super market and some nice kafeneia and restaurants.
Every Sunday morning locals and visitors come together at the market on the village square. It is a traditional and colourful market where islanders sell their local products and have done so for hundreds of years. A visit to this market cannot be missed during your stay on Kythira.
Potamos is an ideal base for discovering the island due to its central location.
Room info
A beautiful, stone outside staircase leads you to a small, intimate balcony and the first floor entrance directly into the living area. Here you enter the high, spacious and light living-room with comfortable seating and a big dining-table. Adjacent is the kitchen and a separate bed-room with two single beds. From the kitchen there is access to the spacious and inviting terrace to the rear of the building.
Descending the internal staircase from the kitchen you reach the ground floor. Here are located the bathroom with shower, toilet and wash stand, and the second bed-room. This traditional arched room, the kamara, with double bed also has a separate entrance door.
Those who love to cook will delight in Pyrgos House. The kitchen inventory is complete and you can use the products from our nearby biological garden. In this garden we grow vegetables, fruit and herbs all year round. In addition to this, our free range chickens guarantee farm fresh eggs every morning. And of course in your kitchen you will find a bottle of our own olive oil.
Pyrgos House is open all year around. Central heating and the woodstove make your stay also in wintertime very comfortable.
