Greek Groves is a modern day romp amongst the olives. Travelling by a variety of modes of transport - from sea plane to horse back and from ferry to olive-oil powered car, the author June Field will cover the four corners of the olive kingdom in search of the most historic, the most ancient, the most remote, the most famous groves in Greece.

The book will take in many of the individuals met along the way as well many of Greece’s most important - and obscure – sights. It will take us to places where olive trees fringe the pebble beaches of Corfu, to the historic grove of Delphi, to the Acropolis, which marks the mythological beginnings of olive cultivation, on to the vast commercial groves of Kalamata, to ancient Olympia and on to Crete where, at a remote monastery, monks continue to process the oil from organic groves established by the Minoans nearly 7,000 years ago.
No book on Greece would be complete without a sortie into the kitchen to see how fanatically the Greeks use their own olive oil. In their own kitchens.
