An Industrial Tomato Museum Nomikos Vlychada Beach Santorini Greece.
In 1915 Dimitrios Nomikos started the production of tomato paste in a small pre-industrial technology plant in Messaria. In 1922, he builds in Monolithos one of the first tomato canning industry in the Balkans, as he used to say, with state-of-the-art technology of the time, using machinery imported from abroad. In 1945, George Nomikos, son of Dimitrios, builds the plant in Vlychada, the center of the best tomato producing area of the island, with a daily capacity of 3,500 baskets. During the first season the plant operates without even having a roof. The production period extends from June till August, with late tomatoes coming from the area of Pyrgos.
