Villages across the Pangaio area west of Kavala, including Orfani, Nea Peramos, Myrtofyto, Kariani and Platanotopos, host a dense network of small olive oil mills and family-run producers, from single-estate operations to multi-generation businesses. Local producers describe a market shaped by both quality-focused branding, aimed at direct sales to visitors and specialty retailers, and the more traditional bulk trade that continues to expose growers to swings in international pricing. Producers say the mix of small mills scattered through so many villages reflects how deeply olive cultivation remains woven into the rural economy of the wider Kavala area, even as overall Greek olive oil export figures have fluctuated this year.
