Wineries to visit while in the Greek islands
We would like to visit some wineries while in Greece. We only have 2 full days for this which means not enough time to travel to Santorni where I know there are a few. Any suggestions on other islands that have some good wines? Thanks ~

Travelling from where, Athens? If so why not consider Nemea, only a short distance away on the Peloponnese with very good wines, some regarded as the best in Greece!

With 2 days you could explore them fully, as well as some of the historic sites in the area, of which there are many.

Should you be based in Athens, here is a very good winery :
Harlaftis Athanassiadis Wines

They are based in Stamata, in Athens North, and they won some international awards.
I have been there for winetasting a long time ago and i enjoyed it.
Contact them, this is a winery that tourists don't know and hardly visit....

Thanks to all for the recommendations. I'll check them out.
Bobthenavigator - I can understand your priorities on things to see and do while in Greece. We just thought a visit to a local winery would be a nice break from history to learn about greek wines and see a different aspect of greece. And, a nice glass of wine is always a plus.
