The holistic community project Korogonas Ark was born at the end of 2012 upon the virgin land of the small Korogonas plateau in southern Peloponnese, 25km west of Monemvasia and 25km south of Molaoi. It is a member of the Global Ecovillages Network (GEN), located approximately 120 meters above sea level with a mild climate and clean air.
Wild olive, carob and pear trees and wild asparagus and herbs are protected alongside local evergreen bushes. Vegetable gardens have been created using natural farming and permaculture practices. Olives — from both wild olive trees (Olea oleaster) and cultivars — are harvested exclusively by hand to produce super-olive oil, considered a superfood. Carobs and wild sage blossoms, gathered by hand, have a multiplicity of healing benefits.
