The Vineyards of Mylopotamos

The vineyards of Mylopotamos, which is the largest dependency of the Holy Monastery of Megisti Lavra, are located on the eastern side of the peninsula of Athos. Their roots stretch from rocky sloping terrain to the crystal clear waters of the Strymonikos Gulf.

The climatic conditions prevailing in the area with the many and necessary rainfalls, the sea and the sun that bathes the vineyards, combined with the ecological care and passion of the monks, create all the necessary conditions for the production of fine grapes. The collection, vinification, maturation and bottling take place at the winery of Mylopotamos and give excellent wines, which stand out for their quality and taste.

Mylopotamos has a long tradition in winemaking. The monks who settle there have been engaged in the cultivation of vineyards and wine production for more than a thousand years, since the time of Saint Athanasios the Athonite.
