Reviewed By fioriouslife - London, United Kingdom
This is the second time we visited this lovely family owned winery and once again we enjoyed a warm welcome from Yannis and his son who walked us through tasting all their delicious wines and Olive Oil. Of course we had to buy as much as we could fit into our suitcase as the wines were just too tasty not to take them with you - so if you go, be prepared with some space in your suitcase. I believe they ship as well and started working with more distributors, so there is hope we can get their tasty wines in the UK in future as well. Regardless of this, that place is always worth a visit as it has lovely views, a nice atmosphere and the wine always tastes best when enjoyed at its source. Thank you so much for having us this year and we will be back again for sure!

Crete, the large Greek island, is a place of many beauties and contradictions, carrying a history that was born millenniums ago but remains visible even today. Images, sounds, essences and flavors of the past satisfy the senses. At the place that gave birth to the unique Minoan Civilization, the “Cretan Thematic Park” offers guests the opportunity to get an insight assisted by modern technology and two dance theatre performances, while they enjoy Minoan flavors offered by Cretan products.The hall of “Cretan Thematic Park” is found near the largest city of Crete, Heraklion, in the town of Archanes, the center of reference of the Minoan Civilization, the first civilization of Europe that bloomed 4.000 years ago centered at Knossos.Showing respect to our cultural heritage, we inspired a future based on the values of the Minoan Civilization: love, respect towards nature, joy of life and creation.
