Agia Varvara Springs
Drama’s most peaceful escape 🌳

Right in the heart of the city, the Agia Varvara Springs offer one of Greece’s most charming urban landscapes. Small lakes, wooden bridges, running water, and giant plane trees create the perfect setting for a relaxing day or a peaceful coffee by the water.

☕ Enjoy your coffee at a cafe floating above the springs.
🚶‍♀️ Walk through shaded paths or- even better- take a small boat ride across the lake.
🍷 Then head just a few kilometers out of town to visit one of Drama’s renowned wineries.

Drama is the perfect mix of nature, relaxation, and exceptional wine all in one day.

Retsina – A Wine by Tradition 🇬🇷
A taste steeped in centuries of Greek heritage…

👉 Retsina is more than just a wine!
it’s a ''Protected Traditional Appellation'' officially recognized by the EU, and deeply rooted in ancient Greek winemaking.

👉 What makes it unique?
During fermentation a small amount of natural pine resin is added. Originally used in antiquity to seal amphorae and preserve wine, the resin now gives Retsina its distinctive herbal and refreshing 'piney' aroma.

👉 What to expect? Retsina tasting notes:
Dry, crisp, with hints of mastic & lemon, herbs like rosemary, and of course, PINE!!! A perfect match for Greek simple meze like grilled fish, small fish marinated in citruses, lamb with herbs & vine leaves.

❗️Retsina can only be produced in Greece under strict traditional methods.

Once a wine of necessity, now a symbol of identity.
Modern Retsinas are refined, fresh, and proudly carry the soul of Greek tradition into the glass.
