History

Thronio pistachios is a family business that started in 1975, with the planting of the first pistachio trees in the area of Kammena Vourla, after it was defined that the climate and environment favour their cultivation. The farm is located on the slopes of mount Knimis, above the ruins of ancient city Thronio (Thronio – throne means seat), which spread over two plateaus that from afar looked like a throne. Αncient Thronio was inhabited by Athenians, until it was completely destroyed by an earthquake in 426 BC. In fact, ancient Throniο is mentioned by Homer in the Neo catalogue of the Iliad Θρόνιο και Τάρφη αμφί βοαγρίου ρέεθρα.
