9. olive groWer
An olive grower must be patient and
strong. He is working under
pressure and difficult conditions. He
is usually hardworking as he spends
a lot of hours caring for the olive
trees in order to produce oil of high
quality. Greece is the third country
in Europe which produces huge
quantities of oil characterized of an
excellent quality including also our
area, Ilia which has a tradition in
the oil production.
10. The oil industry is one of the oldest agricultural industries and developed in
the Mediterranean basin.
In order to facilitate the processing of the olives roman oil olive-presses
(eleotribio) were created, which were consisted of a stone basin and two
millstones ( milopetres).
Then in 1979 was invented the hydraulic press which:
Usually grinded the fruits while then were converted into a pulp.
Pulp was put in specific sacks.
Pulp was pressed in the olive oil-presses and export olive.
Olive is stored in large containers.
As a result of a second processing procedure are also exported:
Kernel (pirineleo) oil which is ised in the manufacture (paraskevi) of soaps
(sapounia)
Olive pies (pites) as food for animals
Olive core ( pirinas) is ideal for heating
11. Firstly, the workers have to collect the olives and then transfer them
the olive-oil press. After that they clean the olives and put them into
the machines to produce oil.
Olive oil press: liotrivi, liotriveio, loutruviom , elaiourgeio
The place in which with help of specific machines, oil is extracted from the
olives.
12. Olive trees are types of trees which
live for hundred years. There are
million olive trees around the world,
especially in Europe. The most
widespread type of olive trees is the
olea europaea.

13. ‘TSANGARIS’
What does shoemaker mean?
Tsangaris<from the middle aged
‘tsangaris’<from ‘tsangarios’
<from the noun’tsanga’, a kind
of soft shoe.
The person whose job is to
make or mend shoes.
Tsangaris’ (=shoemaker) is the person whose job is to make shoes. The place
or shop where he works was called ‘tsangariko’ or ‘tsangaradiko’. In cities there
where quit a lot of these shops, big and small. In big shops there workeda
couple of ‘tsangarides’ (=shoemakers)together, together with their assistants
and apprentices.
Shoes were also expensive back then, but they were handmade since there
neither glue nor machines. The basic equipment of a ‘tsangaris’ was shoe-trees
in different sizes, hammers, files, pincers (special needles) and awls.

16. …The job of a shoemaker now is
very rare…
But it’s a greek job, which the
controllers of Greece want
destroy it. Because, they put
our both feet in one shoe, as a
greek proverb says!!!...
17. We met Mrs. Maria Vakrou in her
workplace and she was surprised to
see us there early in the morning. She
had a lot of work that day. The
economic crisis has revived the job of
the dressmaker. Mrs. Maro, as most
people call her, has been a
dressmaker for thirty years.
After a warm greeting,
she started telling us
that she has always had
an innate talent for
sewing and she used to
make her own clothes
when young.
18. Mrs. Maria has been working with
modern sewing machines, but she
remembers that before Singer’s
«revolution», dressmakers used to do the
entire job using their hands. They cut,
sewed, hemmed, opened buttonholes
with simple hand tools: scissors, bobbins,
needles, pins, the bar, the “soap”.
Their workplace was a room of their house
where women who wanted to have their
clothes sewed or changed visited them. They
At the past also had students since that was the way to
learn the art of dressmaking those days.
There is even an old song about dressmakers
saying “Dressmakers and hairdressers will
come to dress you up...”
However, dressmaking was really tiring and the
dressmakers had to be very careful because a
little mistake would cost them time and
money.
19. Dressmaking had been in great bloom for many
years. However, it began to wane when the
craft companies appeared, the mass
production of clothes started and people
started buying clothes from the clothes
stores or boutiques rather than have them
sewed by dressmakers. Most dressmakers
left their home business and ran to work in
those clothing companies or factories. It’s
the era of the malls with the readymade
clothes.
However, nowadays, the
economic crisis has revived
dressmaking not because
people want to have their
clothes sewed. They just
want their old clothes remade
hoping that they will be more
modern…
20. zevmatopoios
What exactly is the job of the “ zevmatopoios”?
The 'zevmatopios' used to use animals skins to make leather tools that people used
to equip on their horses or donkeys in order to transport merchandise or ride
their horses.
21. Some of those tools are:
KAPISTRI a leather set
put around the head of
the animal
HALINARI which was always metallic and was
attached to the animal's mouth so that the rider
could control it easily
IGLA, a big leather belt that was tied underneath the
animal’s belly
MBALDIMI, another rleather part which covered the
hind legs of the horse and was tied to the saddle
and the igla.
All this equipment was absolutely necessary to keep
the saddle and the load that the animal carried
stable.
22. Barba We went to the store of 'Barba Nionios' on a
Nionios , rainy afternoon in February but he wasn't
the last “ there. He is too old to go out during winter.
zevmatopoi He will come out once spring has arrived.
However, we met his son-in-law, Dimitis
os” in Kostarias who welcomed us in a really
Peloponese warm way. His store doesn't work as a
Since 'zevmatopiio' anymore. Now, he gets
1946…. supplied with the tools that Barba Nionios
used to make himself, and sells them to
those few who still have 'ipozigia' (animals).
23. Dionysios Apostolopoulos, or
Barba Nionios, as he is widely
known in our town Pyrgos, has
worked as a “ zevmatopoios”
for more than 40 years, being
one of the first people who did
this kind of job.
Dimitris Kostarias and his wife
Katerina are going to answer all
our questions while at the same
time take us back to other eras.
24. The job 'zevmatopios' had a lot of success for many years because
it was deeply connected to the agricultural life of Greek people.
It was in bloom until the 70s when agricultural machines like
tractors started replacing animals and Greece entered the
European Union. So, this job was almost abandoned. Only a
couple of people
(usually in mountainous places) still use 'ipozigia' (animals) in
their work.

you’ll see a reference to Barba Nionios.

29. The baker The traditional bakery is open since
1930.Today,it is runn by two
brothers, who inherit it from their
father. Some decades ago, the areα
where is located the bakery,was the
economic and shopping centre of our
town. The shop, is right to the left of
this remarkable and historical city
centre of our "local" market called:
"Stavropazaro"(the place where was
established the market was in the
centre of a cross road).The old workers
where going to their jobs very early in
the morning,they were passing every
day from there to buy their bread and
food.
30. They informed us about the
process production of bread and
the speciality of the wood-fired
oven.
The baking in wood-fired oven comes
gradually, increasing the temperature in
200c.The resistance of the heat is huge
because of the stone (a special stone which
was built the oven) This way of baking has
amazing results. The bread dries faster and
it's tastier than modified ones which are
often substandard. The negative thing about
using a wood-fired oven is that it's often
tiring and cannot help the mass production
*Αs for the fuel, they use only olive wood and
never pine.
31. All bakery's products are baked in the wood-fired oven.
Bread, cookies, cakes,sweat breads (tsoureki), many
different kinds of pies. Specially for the celebration of
our Saint Charalampos, patron saint of Pyrgos.
Especially for the celebration they make a sweet kind of
bread called "artos" with a lot of sugar and
spices.
Some sayings:
"He who doesn't want to bake, sifts for ten days"
"If somebody is clever and intelligent, before gets hungry will bake"
"Bread's beauty from the sourdough the bulge gets born"turkish

location called
learned the job
33. It is a job which requires
technical knowledge and skills, It
is tuff, but it worths the support
because the products are far better
than modified ones. But, they are
also more expensive than the
modified, because of the mass
production.
Material that are
used:
-"stratza"( a
special material
which twistes the
metal and gives it
a cylinder shape)
-"amoni"(its a
Black Smith’s Anvil "machine" where the Strantza: the machine that rolls sheetmetal
place the sheet-
metal, and then
they processing the
products)

The blacksmith :
“Our area (Ileia) is agrιcultural with many farmers
and quite big production of agricultural products.
So, many farmers are buying their supplies for gear
from this kind of shops, especially when they need
specific gear which cannot be found in the factory's
production”.
“The economical crisis has definitely granted the
traditional jobs. Nowadays, more and more people are
turning back to old and traditional ways of life.
37. fishing: some do it like a job
while others like a hobby
Fishing lasts all the winter The best bites are real
