Area development Project: Olive museum, Craft workshops, and Trekking path near Koumeika

T
his project, proposed by Stamatina Derizotis, is to highlight the particular productive character and nature of the Amfilissos area of Samos island. The production traces of the area, such as old and deserted buildings, bridges, laundries, water mills and olive mills, are located. The idea is the reuse of a certain desolated pathway by a river located near Koumeika in this area. If someone follows this route, they pass by crops and come in contact with the agricultural life of the place. The old water mill is part of the concept and is proposed to become part of a Water Park. The old olive mill is where the project focuses. It is designed to become an Olive Museum together with an information area about the route, which will also be used for selling local products, a café and preparation area for the trekking route.
