Amazing experience. - Amazing experience. Our driver, Giorgos was very nice and pleasant to talk to. The wines we had on the tasting were great! The second winery in particular, Markou Vineyards, has really great wines, with Maria Markou giving a nice tour in their wine museum, and great insights on the wines we tasted. Recommended experience.
