Take part in the Dionysos Olive Harvest in Turkey this October
05/10/2010
A very special holiday retreat in Turkey offers you the chance to relax amongst olive groves, and throughout October, guests can help with the annual olive harvest.
The Dionysos Estate presents an idyllic setting for a relaxing holiday. The estate's organic farm fuels the hotel's three excellent restaurants - Waterside, Mediterranean and Taste of Turkey. There's a private beach club, open air hot tubs and a spectacular panoramic view of the Bay of Kumlubük. There's even a swimming pool overlooking the sea.
There are several accommodation options at the Dionysos. Choose from twin or double rooms, cottage suites and deluxe private pool suites with two bedrooms.
The Dionysos Estate produces lashings of award winning olive oil. Take part in the olive harvest this October for an unusual twist to your holiday in Turkey. Guests can join the olive harvest on 16 and 23 October.
During the olive harvest, you can get involved as much or as little as you like. Join the local farmers to help pick the olives, learn about olive pressing, enjoy an olive tasting session or learn some great ways to use olive oil in cooking. Both adults and children are invited to take part in the olive harvest activities.
Staying at the Dionysos Estate allows you to feel at one with your surroundings and encounter a working Turkish farm up close. You can book your holiday at the Dionysos Estate through Exclusive Escapes. A week at Dionysos including B&B, flights, transfers and olive harvest activities costs £650 per person. It could offer the perfect break for a family during this October half term.
