Agro Tourism Lefkada / Olive Oil Tour

A Journey of Flavor and Tradition












In the heart of the Ionian Sea, where emerald waters kiss the sun-drenched shores, there lies the island of Lefkada - a place where time slows down and the world feels perfectly balanced. 


It’s here, amidst olive groves that stretch as far as the eye can see, where the ancient art of olive oil production thrives.

At Optimalstay we are more than just a gateway to exquisite travel experiences; we are passionate advocates of sustainability and community. Our Olive Oil Tour is a tribute to the island's rich heritage, a story told through the golden hues of freshly pressed olive oil, each drop a testament to centuries of care and craftsmanship.

We believe that true travel is more than just seeing a new place - it's about immersing yourself in its soul. The Olive Oil Tour is not just a chance to taste one of Greece's most prized delicacies, but an opportunity to connect with the very land that produces it. You'll walk among the olive trees, feel the sun on your skin, and breathe in the scent of the earth, all while learning from local artisans whose lives are intertwined with these groves.

Supporting these local producers is a joy that fills our hearts. With every bottle of olive oil purchased, every story shared, we are contributing to a tradition that respects the land, honors the past, and nurtures the future. This is sustainable tourism at its finest—a practice that not only enriches the traveler’s soul but also sustains the community, ensuring that these olive groves and their stories endure for generations to come.

We invite you to join us on this journey, to taste the essence of Lefkada, and to become a part of a legacy that celebrates nature, culture, and the simple yet profound joys of life.

Together, let us support the hands that craft this liquid gold, and in doing so, ensure that the island continues to thrive, just as it has for centuries.

With gratitude and hope for a sustainable beautiful exciting and abundant future,

Monolithic Masterpieces: The Timeless Allure of Orraon Inspired Guided and Protected by a Pyramid

Nestled 56 km north of Preveza town, Greece, Orraon stands as a testament to ancient engineering prowess and architectural grandeur. The monumental buildings, with their imposing walls and meticulously crafted small windows, echo tales of an era when construction wasn’t merely functional but an art form. These structures, towering and unyielding, have stood strong and vertical for thousands of years, sparking curiosity and admiration. Why did our ancestors choose this location? What explains a settlement in Greece without a theatre? Why were walls on the periphery constructed from three rows of massive stones, designed to fend off powerful enemies wielding more than just arrows and spears? What drove them to carve such massive blocks out of the earth and polish them to perfection? The precision in arranging these colossal stones is nothing short of extraordinary, leaving us to wonder: where has this technology vanished? Descending into the depths of Orraon , we encounter the water cha...

In our search for a serene refuge for worship, contemplation, and spiritual reflection amid the picturesque landscapes of Ioannina , we stumbled upon the chapels of Agia Marina  in Pedini and Agios Charalampos  in Mpafra . The  Agia Marina chapel  is characterized by rounded arches emitting a sense of embrace and openness, inviting visitors to enter both physically and spiritually. This architectural choice, combined with the natural stonework, complements the surrounding forest and mountains, as though the chapel emerged organically from the surrounding landscape, creating a seamless unity between the structure and nature. The church is enveloped by lush trees and set against the rolling hills. This serene environment enhances the church’s sacredness, offering a refuge not only for worship but also for contemplation and connection with nature. The surrounding trees seem to guard the secluded space, creating a profound sense of peace. Together, these elements refle...

Months ago, a signal crackled to life from a hidden paradise, cloaked in binary: " 01110011 01110101 01110010 01110010 01100101 01100001 01101100 00100000 01110000 01100001 01110010 01100001 01100100 01101001 01110011 01100101 00101100 00100000 01001100 01100101 01100110 01101011 01100001 01100100 01100001 00101100 00100000 01101101 01100101 01110010 01100111 01100101 00100000 01101001 01101101 01100001 01100111 01101001 01101110 01100001 01110100 01101001 01101111 011". It was hinting at a mountain peak and pointing to Lefkada , home of the brightest, unfiltered inspiration. Guided by the Kalamitsian  secret protocol , we dusted off our maps, invoking our  Korpi  water for wisdom. The  message  rang through the silence: let colors and empty spaces kindle the fires of creativity and imagination. Alpha Centauri  pulses on the horizon, artists convene like cosmic voyagers for the new moon's arrival, hovering over the craggy peaks. The thin, electrified air hu...
