Chidira

[1] Chidira borders with the villages Agra, Mesotopos, Eresos, Antissa, Revma, Pterounda and Vatousa.

Vegetation consists of Mediterranean shrubs, oak-trees and several species of waterplants at the banks of the numerous streams.

Furthermore, the region of Chidira is a wildlife sanctuary and a nature reserve, owing to its abundant fauna and its distinct geological features and flora.

The acidic, sulfuric soil of Chidira gives Methymnaeos wines a strong minerality and prevents vine diseases, thus favoring organic farming.

Tours to the winery, offered every year in July, August and September by the owner himself, are free of charge.
