Though there are several remote and secluded beaches, historic ruins, and numerous cafes and businesses, few tourists visit the village of Skalahori. The villagers are mostly farmers, shepherds, and retirees. The Woman's Cooperative of Traditional and Local Products is located near the church in the center of town. Women and often their children spend their days hard at work, decorating traditional cookies and sweets, packaging trachana, and labeling the large variety of preserved fruits, local olives, olive oils, marzipans, herbs and spices, vinegar, and all sorts of products that cannot be found in the supermarkets and tourist shops of the more popular villages. The olive oil shown in this photo is considered the finest in Greece.
