Learn about Field GuideThe story behind it
Wine (from the native Robola grape) is a point of pride on Ithaca. Perachori, perched above Vathy, has a long history of wine production. This festival embodies the island’s agricultural cycle, marking the height of summer and honoring the age-old practice of vinification. It blends traditional dietary regimens (local cheese pies, honey) with dances and philarmonic music, reflecting Ithacan communal traditions.
