Story

The Adatepe Olive Oil Museum, located in Çanakkale's Ayvacık district, is an important cultural site that tells the story of the region's rich olive oil and agricultural culture. The museum displays works, old tools, and machinery documenting the olive oil production tradition that stretches from antiquity to the present day. Traditional millstones and wooden presses reveal how the olive oil-making process evolved over time. The Ayvacık region was an important center of olive oil production during the Ottoman era and continues that tradition to this day. The handwritten documents and photographs on display in the museum reflect the history of the local people and of trade. Through interactive exhibits, visitors have the opportunity to learn about all the stages of olive oil production. For history lovers, a recommended visit to the region can be rounded off by seeing the historic buildings in Ayvacık's old town center next to the museum.
