Founded in 2017 by the Köstem Foundation on a 20,000 m² site outside Uzunkuyu village, the museum reads like a peninsula thesis: the centrepiece is a full-scale reconstruction of the 2,600-year-old olive press from the ancient city of Klazomenai, the surrounding halls track olive oil from antiquity to modern stainless-steel extraction, and a working organic press fills the back of the property. The restaurant runs an Aegean menu built around the house oil; the shop sells the cold-pressed lines, soaps and ceramics. A half-day visit that gives the Tokoğlu wine corridor a serious counterweight.

Editor's Tip

Time the visit for late morning, the Klazomenai mill hall is best with the high-side light, and the restaurant runs a focused öğlen menü until 15:00. The early-harvest bottle in the shop is the one to take home, not the standard line.
