Housed in a restored communal olive mill at Agia Paraskevi and run by the Piraeus Bank Group Cultural Foundation, this museum presents the three stages of mechanised olive oil production - crushing, pressing and separation - with the original machinery in place. Adjoining warehouses cover cultivation, by-products, the oil trade and the trades that grew around it, and the site includes a multipurpose hall, cafe and open-air amphitheatre.
