I come from an area of the island of Rhodes with tradition in olive oil production. Every family of the Kalamonas area had its own experiences through out the years, producing olive oil, from harvest of the olives to the extraction of the oil at the traditional mills… In the winter of 2011-12 my father Nikos and I, first attempted to bottle a small portion of our annual family production of olive oil and offered the bottles as a present to foreign travel agents who visited the hotel during the summer season that followed. A fine quality of 300 Koroneiki olive trees were planted by my grandfather Alexander in 1975 in Theologos Beach of Rhodes island, in the area where our hotel is nowadays established. His mission was to emerge the local agricultural products production as an integral part of Rhodes culinary tradition.
Thus the name ‘Alexandros Olive Grove’.
