Standing next to 3,200 years of living history... 🫒✨
Take a close look at this magnificent monumental olive tree in the village of Kavousi. Scientists estimate its age to be between 3,200 and 3,300 years old, meaning it was planted during the ancient Minoan era (around 1350–1100 BC)!
Just imagine what this incredible tree has witnessed. It was already growing here long before the rise of Classical Greece and the Roman Empire. It has survived countless centuries of history, and yet, it still stands strong, beautiful, and even continues to bear fruit today! In fact, during the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, branches from this exact tree were used to make wreaths for the winners Seeing it in pictures is one thing, but standing right next to its gigantic, sculpted trunk and feeling its ancient energy is an experience that gives you goosebumps.
