It is located in a small village on the route from Porto Vromi to Kampi.
Obligatory stop and photo as usual, also because it is located in the city center.
But it is talked about in an exaggerated way. In Puglia there are at least as beautiful ones, perhaps in less convenient and easy to find locations.

This is supposedly one of the oldest olive 🫒 trees in the world - reputedly around 2,000 years old, but I guess it’s definitive age can’t really be determined. However, it’s still producing olives in it’s venerable years, which is amazing enough on it’s own. Apparently on Zakinthos there are several trees around the same age , with rather majestic twisted knarly trunks - but all still fruiting. Another reason for stopping was to look at the nearby local artisan produce , and we were openly encouraged to taste the food wares before buying. An old fella appeared , and sat beside the ancient tree making a lot of noise 🙉, - but we just turned a blind eye ( & deaf ear ) as think he wanted to drum up some beer money 😂.

Stopped here as part of a My Tours coach trip around the island, fascinating tree and lots of small stalls selling locally made products, the most amusing thing was the old chap who was playing the mouth organ in front of the tree, with his little table and ash tray, there is a box on the tree for donations but he was telling people off for putting money into it and kept saying no, no and pushing his ash tray towards them for money.

Passed by when touring the island.
In the village of Exo Chora in the north west of the island.
Gnarled, twisted bark and a huge girth, many hundreds of years old, depending who you ask.
A few olive oil, honey, local produce stalls in the village, plus a couple of bars and eateries. Not much to see apart from the old tree.
Not worth diverting to see it but ok if passing that way.

Something different to do on holiday
Surprised at the amount of people who stop to see this. In a remote location over 2000 years old.
It's just unique and fastnicating
Well worth seeing

An incredibile Old Olive Tree Waits for you on the street side. Amazingly and gracefully creating seats for shootings which will linger in tomorrow's memories. A must in Zante

If you go around the mountains for a day out,you'll certainly 'bump' into Exohora and you'll find a lot of people stopping there.Just opposite the road next to a war monument,is an old olive tree which has become the symbol of the village once that it is estimated that it exceeds over 2300 years of age-and it's not the oldest on the island,but it will give you a chance to admire it's beauty.The olive tree trunk has split into three and the curves and twists it has really are worth taking photos of!And it still produces olives and olive oil of course!Nearby a track path leads to quite a few wells which are also worth visiting once that they say they were opened up by Mary Magdalene in 33A,D during her visit to the island when she brought Christianity to the people...it's no suprise that the neighbouring village has taken the name Maries to honour her and the other two Mary's that were with her-Mary of Clopa and Mary of Lazarus!

Situated in the middle of the island you can find an extremely old olive tree. You can make nice pictures and look around.

This tree is mind blowing to look at (see pics), as the tree bark as intertwined with itself over hundreds of years, as well as the thickness and general size of the tree base.
I wouldn't make an effort to come here especially unless you're into horticulture, but if you do stop by, the village make a lot of produce on their individual farms and sell their wares very cheaply. Not only are you getting quality you can't get even in the best of stores where you live, you are also getting freshly made and products you won't be able to get in other places. For example, rose honey, lemon & mint liqueur, rose sweet liqueur that tastes like liquid Turkish delight, first press extra virgin olive oil so cheap you won't belive it and herb infused olive oils. Taste everything.
