About us
Hello!
We are Katerina & Giorgos, owners of Elitsa shop.
Katerina is the Lefkadian! She was raised and spent her childhood at the building and where the shop is located. Having an elegant taste and always giving attention to the detail she decorated from scratch the whole place and takes care of everything in order to be perfect!
Giorgos has always being attached to his hometown and childhood years. He was raised in the olive fields of Kalamata (famous for Kalamata extra virgin olive oil and Kalamata olives), loves the earth and the olive trees. Every season he waits for the time to leave his office in Athens and get to Kalamata for the harvest. He is a 3rd generation extra virgin olive oil producer and an olive oil taster.
You will find us every summer with: Dimitris (our son), Konstantina (our daughter) and sometimes giagia (grandmother) Konstadina in our shop in Nidri! There you can find and taste premium products from all over Greece!
Don’t forget to taste the highlight of our shop, our extra virgin olive oil, produced from our fields in Kalamata and olives made with our grandmas traditional recipe! Can’t wait to tell you all the information about it!
We turned our passion and heritage into a shop and we are glad about it!
About our shop
…So our love for the good old days in the province that we both grew up, with no industrialized products, free of preservatives gave birth to “Elitsa”.
“Elitsa” means the small olive tree in Greek.
In our shop you can find:
Our olive products: extra virgin olive oil and olives (with our grandmas traditional recipe) from our fields in Kalamata, olive paste and aromatic olive oil with herbs.
Authentic products made with love and care from small producers and workshops all over Greece that represent our philosophy. We insist on choosing those producers that offer the highest quality products like ours! To manage that we travel a lot and get to meet them in person.
We have made a great selection and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do!

Customer reviews
Alice Filimon Torres:
This small shop is run by a local family and they are the friendliest people I have ever met during my trip in Greece. They take pride in everything they do and the service is great. If you’ll ever visit Nidri-Lefkada, make sure you stop by and buy their products. The price is great and the products are as local as they can get… the olive oil is very tasty.
Felice Guerriero:
A shop different from the others, offers a selection of quality products at reasonable prices, the owners as well as being extremely kind are very competent and will advise you in the best way. Also recommended for buying typical local spices and ingredients to cook dishes such as tzatziki.
