The Museum of Olive Oil Production is housed in the premises of the old communal olive oil press of the Municipality of Agia Paraskevi. In the main building the three basic steps of olive oil production, crushing the olives, pressing the pulp and separating the oil from water are shown. The Museum has also a multi-purpose hall for hosting different types of events, a cafe, and a small open-air theatre.

The museum presents the industrial heritage of the island, not only in olive oil production but also in the wider field of technological development, as well as projecting it against its architectural, social and cultural background.
