The spring water Avra is manufactured near Temeni About the Area The region of Achaia in the northwestern Peloponessos is an area of vinyards, wineries, beautiful beaches, medieval fortresses, ancient ruins, great food, and one of the most spectacular bridges on the planet. Achaia is named for the Argolid settlers who came here after the fall of Myceneae when the Dorians pretty much took over what we call Ancient Greece. It was the first region in Greece to embrace Christianity and was occupied in succession by the Franks, the Paliologues, the Turks and the Venetians before it was liberated in 1828. There is evidence of all these powers in the cities towns and mountains of Achaia. Patras, the capital of the region, is Greeces most important sea link with the rest of Europe with ferries sailing to the Italian ports of Brindisi, Bari, Ancona, Venice and in the past and maybe again in the future, Trieste. It used to be an embarkation point to the Ionian Islands of Kefalonia, Ithaki, Corfu, and Zakynthos until they realized that it is a lot cheaper fuel-wise to send the ferries from the port of Killini which is soutwest of Patra, so with the exception of Corfu that is where you catch the ferries to those islands. For Corfu you have to go to Igoumounitsa though there are a couple ferries a week from Patras. (See During the Carnival season Patras is known for its lively celebration with costumes and partying in the streets, like in New Orleans and, with parades, floats, parties and lots of drinking and celebrating during Apokreas which ends 40 days before Orthodox Easter. This is one of the best times to visit the city. If you are looking for a nice hotel in the Patras area try the Florida Blue Bay Resort and Spa which is listed as being in Patras but is actually in the seaside village of Psathopyrgos, fifteen minutes away from the city and is highly recommended by Fantasy Travel. Patras is the largest city in the Peloponnesos and has a number of important historical sites, great restaurants, beautiful beaches and a very large student population. Achaia has a long history of wine making and along with the well known varieties of grapes like Moschato, Roditis, Agiorgitiko, Moschofilero and Mavrodaphne the ancient vines that have survived like Kydonitsa, Mavro Kalavritino, Sideritis and others are being turned into fine wines that are reaching an appreciative audience. There are a number of wineries near each other and visiting them is the best way to spend a day or two in any exploration of Achaia.
