  OLIVE MILL  
     
 

The olive mill of Apostle Lucas
 
A traditional olive mill is located in the village of Palaichori Morfou. The olive mill lies in the churchyard of the Saint Lucas.

It is kept in a one-room parallelogram building on the south of the old building. It has a roof, covered with roman-type tiles.

It must be noted that the olive mill is well preserved. Not only the mill is saved, but also a part of the miller’s equipment, such as the press, jars and a basin made of clay.

The Antiquity Department renovated the traditional olive mill in 1993. Half of the money needed was donated by the Anastassios G. Leventis Foundation.
