Aegean Islands
Aegean Islands are among the top touristic destinations of Greece.
Wine related activities are pretty common. Winemakers and winegrowers still keep alive the local varieties using both old and new techniques, making the best out of the means they have. Visitors shouldn’t omit to taste the rare local grape varieties and the unique blends from the Aegean Islands.
Especially the white wines that perfectly accompany fresh seafood, but the local cuisine also. Most of these amazing wines are not available in department stores, but they can be found at local wineries.
