Kranidi is well known not only as the base of the temporary Greek Government of Kountouriotis back in 1823, but also, for the excellence in quality of the agricultural products that grow inthis region of Argolida prefecture.Wine and olive oil soon became major trading items. Seafarers from Kranidi carried wine and oil to Mediterranean market, creating great demand for the particular products.Yiannis Kontovrakis, together with his niece Nadia Kotsaki, today continue their family wine-growingtradition from grandfather to father and today themselves.
