Mürefte, associated with viticulture for centuries and whose name is said to mean 'a thousand vineyards', and the vineyard slopes around it.

Safety warning

The vineyards are private property; do not enter without permission and do not touch the crop.

Its story

Mürefte's name is said to come from the word Miryofiton, meaning 'a thousand vineyards'. From the 17th century to the early 20th century, wine was shipped from here to Europe; karalahna and yapıncak are the region's well-known grape varieties. The 1912 Mürefte earthquake and the fire that followed destroyed most of the town. Today, the vineyards running from the Ganos slopes down to the sea form one of the most scenic sections of the Thrace Vineyard Route; September, the harvest season, is especially lively.
