They are Cypress trees. Common in all mediterranian areas.

Rumour has it that a new one is planted when a baby daughter is born.

Max,

I think that they are called Pencil Cypress. Here is a link for you to copy and paste into your browser. This site has a photo for you to check.

They are frequently planted to indicate a boundary between properties, especially in the olive groves where there are no fences.
They also form a cash crop when mature as the timber is very saught after.
