Fantastic winery, very friendly service, fair prices for wine tasting. The Monahikos white, the Efivos rosé and especially the Katostrati taste particularly good, although you can't taste it as it's quite expensive (€45), but it's a magnum bottle. The rooms are beautifully decorated, with historical pictures of the founder.

Our visit to Fragospito Winery was nothing short of spectacular. The day began with a guided tour of the winery, followed by a walk through the picturesque vineyards and a visit to the historic Fragospito house, which dates back to the Venetian period. The setting was both beautiful and rich in history, offering a glimpse into the winery’s fascinating past, and it was the perfect place for wine tasting with breathtaking views of the hills and vineyards. The wine tasting was the true highlight – we sampled a wide variety of their exquisite wines, starting with the whites and progressing to the reds. Our favorites were the Fragospito white and Kotsifali for the reds. Each wine was paired with fantastic local food, and the flavors perfectly complemented the fresh Cretan dishes. Nikos, the owner, along with his wife Vasso and their daughters Anna and Christina, were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, which made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable winery visit, Fragospito is an absolute must. Highly recommended!

One of the best wines I have ever tasted! Their entire range, but especially their whites, are one of a kind! Also the Gavalas family, truly hospitable, as befits a Cretan family! They treated us like their own people, with a special mention for Grandma Marika's pure cakes. Thank you very much and I wish you good work and always success!

I came here by chance... But I thought, since I'm already here, I might as well buy a bottle of wine.... Professional, very friendly service and advice.... Although it's very small and easy to navigate, it's good.... I'd be happy to come back
