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.

    Theoktisti Monastery is one of Ikaria's most beautiful and unique places. It is hidden in a peaceful pine forest near the village of Pigi. The monastery is famous for its small chapel built inside a natural cave and for the huge old oak tree that grows over it, making it look like nature is protecting the monastery.
