Mercouri Estate
Wine tasting, international awards for wine, very good local beer. The estate can be visited by appointment, you will have the opportunity to taste wonderful wines and very good beers, but also to gaze at the green Valley of the Nightingales and the Enipea River that crosses it. It the first "green" winery in Southern Europe, achieving a zero energy footprint. Following what their grandparents did before them, they produce wines based on certified organic cultivation. Brewery production also uses "green" energy, coming from a combination of geothermal and photovoltaics.

Εδώ θα έρθετε για πεντανόστιμο νουά και για τα καλύτερα σπιτικά κεφτεδάκια, ενώ θα βρείτε και μεγάλη ποικιλία μαγειρευτών. Στο Αχίλλειον θα φάτε ακριβώς πάνω στη θάλασσα και αξίζει να έρθετε ακόμα κι αν το μόνο που θα δοκιμάσετε είναι το εξαιρετικό, ζυμωτό ψωμί που βγαίνει καθημερινά από την κουζίνα.

Lake with thermal springs, 3 kilometers long and (maximum) 2 meters deep, where turtles, frogs, various types of fish live, as well as water snakes. The lake has developed next to the sea, is surrounded by a beautiful pine forest and reeds and is a protected site of the Natura 2000 network. The little island of Agia Ekaterini emerges idyllically from its waters, which is so called because of the homonymous, small church that has been built there.

Foloi Oak Forest
Lousios, Grécia
The village has even been included in the Guinness Record book due to the uniqueness of Agia Theodora. Vasta is located at 860 m altitude on the south slopes of Lykeo mountain, on the borders of Arcadia and Messenia. According to the 2011 census, it has 62 residents. What makes Agia Theodora so strange and wondrous is that, even though it is a small stone chapel, it has 17 oak trees coming out of its roof. Their roots are nowhere to be seen: the visitor only sees trunks and branches. It’s worth visiting the village and sitting at the wine-café-grocery store of Tzikos.
