More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the minivan onto a gravel track and the slope exhales — the island’s limestone soils and low, scrubby vines opening in a sun-leaning fan toward the Ionian. Mount Ainos looms like a slow-moving weather pattern, its cedar pines shading pockets of vineyards where Robola vines twist against wind and rock.

History
Robola cultivation dates back to Venetian influence and was later organized into cooperatives in the 20th century to protect the island’s wine identity.
Conservation
Many producers are shifting to low-intervention viticulture and protecting karst soils; visitors are asked to stay on paths to limit erosion and respect working vineyards.

Hydrate Between Tastings
Carry a reusable water bottle and sip water between samples to keep your palate clear and stay hydrated on warm days.
