Tell us about your region and what a visitor can do there

Aris Tselepos: Mantinia is a place of magnificent natural beauty, history, culture, and gastronomy, located less than two hours from Athens. At Ktima Tselepou, visitors can enjoy a tour of our unified vineyard, witness all stages of sparkling wine production, and choose from various tasting packages. In our effort to engage more people with our wines, we frequently organize other events such as cycling, hiking, cooking workshops, yoga sessions, and more.

Stella Skouras: A tour of the ancient sites in the area, Mycenae, a stroll in the old town of Nafplio, or visiting the wineries of Nemea. At Skouras Estate, we offer a comprehensive wine experience that includes a tour of the facilities followed by a tasting of a range of our wines.

Dimitris Skouras: In Nemea, many wineries, including ours, are open to visitors for tours and tastings. Additionally, within Nemea itself, the restaurants “17 Villages” and “Sofos” are worth a visit. Finally, I recommend visiting the ancient stadium of Nemea, Mycenae, Nafplio, and Epidaurus, all within a 30-minute drive.

Giannis Papagiannakos: Markopoulo is a viticultural zone where visitors can discover the unique bush vine cultivation. At Papagiannakos Winery, visitors can tour the vineyards and production areas and enjoy a tasting of our wines. The area is also rich in archaeological sites, such as the Temple of Artemis and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounio. Additionally, the coastal area of Porto Rafti is just five minutes from the winery.

Vasilis Karadimos: Although small, our area offers plenty of activities year-round. In summer, visitors can enjoy swimming in our crystal-clear beaches and later savor fresh fish at our local taverns along the North Euboean Gulf. In winter, a visit can be combined with a trip to Arachova and Parnassos, destinations only 35-40 minutes away. At Ktima Karadimos, visitors can hike through our nearby vineyards, tour the winery facilities, and taste both new and old vintages from our cellar.
