A
        few
        words about me & my workshop...
        
  
       
      I build my workshop in my own property among
      big olive trees and wine grows.
      
        My family lives in Marineika for
      about four centuries. Marinos Avouris was the first who came
      to live in this area. Actually, the name of the village (Marineika) comes
      from his first name. Marineika means : "the place of
      Marinos" or "the place where Marinos lives". For all these
      centuries my family worked on the land, our main
      products being olive oil, Corinth raisins, wine, lemons etc. 
      
      My father (who also has
      the name Marinos Avouris) is also a farmer keeping the tradition of my
      family.
       
      Some of the olive trees you
      will see on your way to my workshop are more than 1000 years old!!! We call
      them Dopies (it means something like "local", "native").
      You can recognize them by their big-thick main branches and the way the split
      like being two or three different trees.  
        
      If you like olive
      oil, or if you can't find  organic extra fine olive oil  in your
      country, you can make a special gift to you and your family! You can 
      find here  organic virgin olive
      oil   , product of my
      father, Marinos D.
       Avouris. So don't forget 
      to ask me!
        
      You can also find here wine of best quality,  also product of
      my father.    
            
      
         You can visit my workshop by car from Zakynthos  town (distance
      4 Km), or after a
      pleasant walk (25 minutes) among olive trees from Tsilivi. There are three different paths
      (all with magnificent view of the inner part of Zakynthos island towards Laganas Bay) which bring you to my
      workshop from Tsilivi beach. For details on how to find my workshop visit
      the page of Zakynthos Map.
