Kalimera
A while ago, I met Kosta by the side of the road.
He is 94. He was sitting on an old stone wall, his walking stick beside him, looking down the road — so quietly at peace, as though he and the world had long since made their agreement. I stopped. He nodded. We didn't say much. The air was still cool, and somewhere nearby, the thyme was already in bloom.
A little bread.
Olives.
Some cheese.
And often a carafe of wine in the middle of the table.
Dan Buettner describes Ikaria as one of the places in the world where
people live exceptionally long lives.
And although there are certainly many reasons for that, this simple togetherness is naturally part of everyday life for many people here.
Not drinking quickly.
But enjoying slowly, together.
Our Lagiros wine will arrive back in Germany on Friday and will finally be available again.
A wine from the old vines of Ikaria.
Slowly matured between sun, sea, and the mountains of the island.
And because we would love for more people to discover our wines from Ikaria, we have gently adjusted the prices of all four wines for the coming days.
In addition, we are giving our newsletter readers an extra 5% with the code:
LAGIROS5
valid until Sunday, June 7th, 2026.
Perhaps exactly the right moment for a long summer evening outside.
With people you love.
And a glass of Ikaria in the evening light.
Warm regards,
Anna & Niko
and the Avramidis Family
