A few words about my studio...

I build my studio 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".

Wine grows around my studio

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 long tradition of my family.

Some of the olive trees you will see on your way to my studio 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.

In case you visit Zakynthos in the second half of Octomber you may also see the picking of the olives.

If you like olive oil, and 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  buy  organic virgin olive oil , product of my father, Marinos D.

Avouris. So don't forget  to ask me!

You can also find here local wine of best quality, also product of my father. 

You can visit my studio by car from Zakynthos  town (distance 4 Km), or after a pleasant walk (about 30 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 studio from Tsilivi beach.
