This winery was highly recommended by our host at Lakonia Bay Apartments. So, we had to make the trip back up the winding road to the newly refurbished and recently reopened (in a new location) to the Monemvasia Winery. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monemvasia What an incredible set up they have. I was awe inspired by the size and… Continue reading Monemvasia Winery
What can I say … one of our favorite wineries in Greece! As usual we tasted some nice wines and then bought them! Adamanthea (the nymph in Greek mythology who hid Zeus from his father to save him from being killed) is still there hosting tastings and she was so kind to have pictures taken… Continue reading Bairaktaris Winery – Return to Nemea – its always wine o’clock!
There are so many things to do and so many ancient site...as well as food, and swimming We have been having an absolutely wonderful time so I have been remiss in my posting duties! Here are a few highlights:

Our wine server, Olga, made our day! She was smart, polite, Covid- conscious and gave us a fabulous wine tasting.

But, the view is… Continue reading Vriniotis Winery – Evia

Tsoutsouros is a… Continue reading Tsoutsouros – Zorba’s & Triton Hotel
One of our favorite places, and one we return to every time we come to Greece, is the small town of Plakias. It has become a bit more crowded over the past few years and prices are also continuing to rise. Unfortunately, we decided not to stay right in the town this visit. So, we… Continue reading Kalypso Cretan Village Resort and Spa
