Mikra Thira is the name of the new winery founded by three collaborative well-known Greek winemakers, Vangelis Gerovassiliou, Vassilis Tsaktsarlis and Ioanna Vamvakouri.
It is the first winery of Therassia, the island that formed part of Santorini until the great volcanic eruption of 1600 BC. The name Mikra Thira (meaning: Small Thira) comes from a literature reference to Therassia of the 10th century AD.
In 1990, Christos Kokkalis, a pharmacist by profession and true lover of good wine, planted a small vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah varieties in the area of Agios Andreas in Ilia.
In Central Macedonia, at the foot of the Paiko mountain range near the provincial town of Goumenissa, surrounded by age-old oaks, lies Mikro Ktima Titos (meaning: Small Estate of Titos).
