Ktima Biblia Chora, built in the hills of Mount Pangeon, is the guardian of a great Greek legacy of grape pressing and winemaking that goes back to the Neolithic period (cc. 4300 AD) as evidenced by the archaeological artefacts found at the prehistoric tell settlement of Dikili Tash in the fertile Philippi valley.
When the Phoenicians, master seafarers and traders, came to Pangeon in search of precious metals, they inevitable helped spreading vine cultivars and the art of winemaking. With them they brought a sacred vine known as “Biblia Ampelos” from the port city of Byblos in Phoenicia.
The Ancient Greeks continued producing a wine from it called “Biblinos Oenos”, so justifiably that the Pangeon region developed into a famous winegrowing centre. It was known throughout all of Ancient Greece as “Biblia Chora” as mentioned in ancient writings by Hesiod, Theoktitos and Michael Psellos.
