Lemon Forest (Lemonodasos)
The Lemon Forest (Lemonodasos) of Galatas, is located on the west shores of the Peloponnese, opposite the harbor of Poros Island. As the name suggests, this is a forest exclusively of lemon trees which has inspired many poets and authors over the centuries. The forest became most famous due to the short story of the same title by Kosmas Politis back in 1930, when the writer described the beauty and the atmosphere of the forest in his novella. Lemonodasos covers an area of 500 acres which stretches along the Peloponnese coastline and consists of over 30,000 lemon and orange trees, water mills, natural springs, hiking trails and tavernas. Back in the 60s and 70s, visitors could tour through the lemon forest and visit the waterfalls on donkeys and mules.
According to various sources from the 18th century, tons of lemons were exported from Poros to Constantinople, Smyrna, Thessaloniki and elsewhere. In 1928, there were 10,000 trees producing 8 million lemons. Over the years the number of trees increased, and exports were a good source of income for the local population. Today, many lemon groves have been abandoned and are slowly drying up. New trees are not planted, as the harvest does not make any profit for the land owners anymore. Moreover, a large part of the lemon forest has now been built over with private houses and villas. There are remnants of lemon groves in private gardens, but not much to see. Most trees are behind fences, in private properties. There are still some trails but they are not well-signed, and most of the tavernas have closed.
Although the Lemon Forest today does not resemble what Kosmas Politis describes in his novella, it remains a beautiful place that through the efforts of volunteers, is trying to revive itself and once again to become a tourist attraction for the entire region. If you visit the famous Lemon Forest, do not miss to try products made from lemons such as spoon sweets, jams, and fresh lemon juices.
