Our Story
Don't be put off by the name 'museum', this is not a sterile exhibition of dusty artefacts but a carefully restored Cycladic olive mill.
The attention to detail in the restoration is incredible and this alongside a video presentation and a personal talk by the owner make this a really special and informative experience.
The best preserved old olive mill in Andros island, is the Dimitris Chelmis' one at Ano Pitrofos village in Andros. The mill was restored and transformed into museum, in order to offer to every visitor, regardless of age, the option to come close to the underling culture of the valuable product and to get familiar with the old traditional techniques of olive oil production as well.
Besides they can see the traditional technics of constructing buildings in Cyclades through the centuries.
