Human factors
During the Archaic period, between 700 and 500 BC, the economy of the area of Anaphystos — present-day Anavyssos — was based to a significant degree on the production and export of wine.
The vine and wine have remained inseparably bound to the cultural, social, and economic life of the region's inhabitants from antiquity to the present day.
