Oichalia, Messenia

Oichalia (Greek: Οιχαλία) is a village and a municipality in Messenia, Greece.

[2] Oichalia is known for its rich expanse of olive trees and fig orchards.

At its height the village boasted several cafes, a bustling farmer's market, and a popular open-air cinema run by the Limberopoulos family.

Other families, such as the Hantzopoulos and Karbaliotis clans, the former a cobbler and the latter a butcher, helped make Oichalia the destination of choice for Messinians in need of footwear and quality meats.
