Ayvalik Olive Harvest Festival

Ayvalik Olive Harvest Festival

In Ayvalık / In October

As being one of the well known local festivals, Ayvalik Olive Harvest Festival has been held annually since 2005 – except 2020, due to Covid-19.

Ayvalik is a pretty town located on the north Aegean region. Olive of Ayvalik is presented to markets as different products additional to being served as food, such as soup, oil, lotion and has always been appreciated by all the country. In 2006, the geographical sign for Ayvalik olive is obtained and this development helped to enrich the festival. Other than festive activities symposiums and meetings are being held during the festival for the local community and business networks. 

When in Ayvalik, be prepared for a late (and may be a bit cooler) summer vacation and enjoy the beach and nature of the region.
