UNION OF AGRICULTURAL COOPERATIVES OF SITIA

The Association, which was established in 1933, today totals 43 cooperatives and 8,718 farmer-members. This represents almost all of farming families in the province of Sitia. The Association's facilities provide storage for 5,000 tons of olive oil and a bottling capacity of 10,000 kg daily. It also produces the high quality traditional Tsikoudia 'Varvaki'. Lets us stay for a while at the mountainous ecosystem of the Province of Sitia, which is one of the best in the Mediterranean for the cultivation of vineyards. The minimal changes in the yearly temperature and a relatively stable humidity, combined with the constant presence of sunlight provide the ideal environment for the varieties Vilana, Moschato, Thrapsathiri and Liatiko. From the vinification of these grapes the Association produces a range of bottled connoisseur wines like:
•Sitia OPAP (Appellation d'origin, white and red)
•Table wine MYRTON (white, red and rose)
•Retsina 'MYRTO'
•'TOPLOU Estate' (Monasterial Wine - red, sweet and natural)
