''The expression of ALPHA ESTATE'S ecosystem throughout human's expertise and experience is the heart of our wine making philosophy'' This statement, coming from winemaker Angelos Iatridis and vine-grower Makis Mavridis pretty much sums the concept and the driving force behind the joint effort of two pioneers of wine growing and winemaking in Greece that selected the remote Amyndeon plateau, an area of PDO wines in North West Greece to establish and develop a state of the art vineyard driven winery. In the coolest wine region of Greece, at an altitude between 630 and 700 meters above sea level the two partners decided to invest in what is today one of the biggest investments in the Greek wine production over the last ten years. The area were today stands the 85ha privately owned block-vineyard was selected in the early 90's by Bordeaux educated and internationally trained enologist Angelos Iatridis, as the optimum wine growing and consequently winemaking region in Greece.
A beautifully designed winery with a full tour of the production area. The smells of grapes and oak, with atmospheric lighting, contrasts with stainless steel vats. The tour finishes with the essential tasting, including local grapes unknown to most drinkers and definitely worth seeking out.

A beautiful pristine area shared by 3 countries. These lakes are shared by Albania, FYROM and Greece. A totally different kind of vacation to come in touch of nature as it truly is as well as the people who live there!

We had a wonderful few hours exploring the Island. From the moment you start walking across on the bridge (walking only) you are delighted by the beauty of the small Prespa Lake with the reeds, birds and mountains surrounding. Once on the Island you can explore the beautiful surrounds with old churches and basilica, cows, sheep, goats, rambling old stone cottages and incredible views from the top of the Island. It was very quite when we were there at about 6pm in Summer. The light was fantastic for photos.

The Brown Bears' Sanctuary is an enclosed area where rescued bears will spend the rest of their lives, one kilometer of the south part of the village Nymfaion, with elevation 1350 meters. The area is around 12 acres long, inside a natural forest of beech, that comprises a typical habitats for the bears.
It was the first time that we saw brown bears free into the woods. The staff of Arktouros works there as volunteer. They are really informed about bears so we have the chance to broaden our knowledge. They take care of bears and when bears are ready enough they are left in their natural habitat. It is impressive how they protect and love these animals.

It was a great chance to travel to Florina. Florina is a beautiful town. Sakoulevas river passes through it. It's a wonderful place to walk around, take pictures and enjoy your coffee in the morning or your drink at night.
