An old oil mill abandoned since 1970 in Eleochori, near Kavala in northeastern Greece, has been restored to house the area's Olive Museum, where visitors can learn about Greek history and folklore down through the centuries through olive products.

The oil mill, built in 1950, had a direct impact on the region, signaling an era of development for western Kavala.

The 250,000-euro project, funded by European programmes and the 3^rd CSF, features an exhibition of artifacts and a recreation area. The museum is the first of its kind in the prefecture of Kavala and the wider region of eastern Macedonia and Thrace.
