SYMI (Island) DODEKANISSOS
Back in the Byzantine age, shipping, marine architecture, commerce,
sponges and viniculture, constitute rich sources for the Symians. Viniculture
developed in a higher grade and was generated mainly white wine, which is of a
higher quality, according to Geographers and misc sightseers who passed by.
However, it was only a few years ago that researcher Sarantis Kritikos
(1992), who has marked more than 120 stone wine presses all over the island in
several areas, and their architecture expand from the first tries of construction
using monoliths, till the closed ones in the end of the 18th aeon, when viniculture
stops.
Today 11 stone wine presses have been reconstructed using the fallen
authentic rock-parts of theirs at Kourkouniotis area, where a visit through the
stunning cypress forest is really a unique experience.
