Ikaria's wine heritage

8 hours and 30 minutes

Easy

Authentic Ikarian winery preserving ancient traditions.
The adventure begins at the historic Theoktisti Monastery, a peaceful retreat hidden in a pine forest where you'll discover one of Ikaria's most treasured landmarks. We then visit Afianes Winery in Raches, a family-owned estate where generations of the Afianes family have combined tradition and innovation to create award-winning wines. The final stop is Tsantiris Winery, where four generations of the Tsantiris family produce organic wines from Ikaria's native grape varieties. Enjoy a guided wine tasting, sample the traditional Begleri, and watch the sunset over the Aegean Sea. This tour is the perfect combination of history, local traditions, and the authentic flavors of Ikaria.
