Variéties : Our local olive varieties are adapted to arid climate and fed with summer sun and sea breezes. By ecological respect for nature, and to keep the authentic fragrance of our oil, we dont water our trees. In our olive grove, Koroneiki, Mavroéliès, and Kalamata are the three main varieties. The Koroneiki was named after the nearby village: Koroni. This variety is the basis for much of Greek Denominations of Origin. Kalamata and mavroelies enter into the composition of our olive pastes. Our trees are between 40 and 100 years.. Permaculture: We are focusing our grove to Permaculture by increasing the biodiversity of flora and micro/macro fauna, this to reach a state of self-regulation against pests and tree nutritional self-sufficiency. That means, in the respect for life, we do not actually use treatment even organic. We believe that "agriculture" means working with nature and not against it, the most simple way to honor its gifts. So, we drive our oil closer to a pure and aromatic expression of terroir. Agritourism: Soon we will open on our olive grove our first little cottage environmentally friendly (see the slideshow below), to offer a total immersion in nature.

The estate "Three Turtles" is very involved in actions to safeguard the environment so, we created the association "Pelops" for light and efficient reforestation in Athens and now sponsor it. More, on our grove, we lead an agriculture friendly to living beings and do not treat our olive trees, even with organic certified products.
