Regarding little Leftheris the 5th generation of Katsaragakis family is involved in the production of fine olive oil by now. Manolis, who's organic farming olive oil has been certificated this year, is very happy that even his son and heir is already supporting them to yield a large crop.

By the way: Katsaragakis olive oil is also available in Germany through

On a plateau high above the village of Sellia the family own wine-growing district is situated. Due to often strong winds the vine crouches down to the ground. Gathering grapes has to be done  by the family every end of August.
