Ulysses Olive Tree

We searched for the oldest Olive tree on Ithaca yesterday and couldn't find it until our friends took us to it last night on the way to a friends for a meal.

On the way to Vathi, we returned to Agios Ioannis village to take a photograph with Mrs BB alongside.  It's dubbed the Ulysses Olive Tree and is reputed to be 1.500 years old - with a girth of 18 metres!   The extra is another photo' of it. 

For those wanting to see it, the following coordinates will help:

After a coffee in Vathi, we bought 2kg of black olives to enjoy when we return home, and spent a couple of hours on Dexa beach - under a couple of old olive trees!
