THE “kouloura”
If SanTorInI wErE a SHapE, it would be a circle. And if there were a symbol that could represent
the identity of this complex island, it would be none other than the famed “kouloura”. For thou-
sands of years, Santorini wine growers have been using an ingenious, unique way to cultivate
grapes on the vine, one that withstands the powerful Aegean winds. They prune their vines in a
way that creates a nest for their grapes. This is the Santorini “kouloura”, a small embrace of vines
that hides hope, innovation, inventiveness and uniqueness. All the values that this island carries.
