Guide Review - Antoniou Jewels and Wine
An appreciation for fine wines and fine jewelry often go together, so it is surprising that entrepreneurs have not tried this combination before. It took a jeweler turned winemaker, Kostas Antoniou, to make the connection.
While his local wines produced at Megalochori rule the cava, gold rules Antoniou's jewelry cases here, with many pieces reflecting the opulence of the ancient Minoan civilization
