Via Egnatia
The vineyard is located near the village of Loutra (a settlement of Traianoupolis) in the Municipality of Alexandroupolis. The winery and its wines were given the commercial name "Via Egnatia" because the vineyard is located next to the ancient Roman Via Egnatia that connected Rome with Constantinople. Remains of this great road can still be found in the area today. The importance of the place was so great that the Roman emperor Trajan (Marcus Ulpius Trajan (98-117 AD), in the 2nd century AD, built ancient Trajanoupolis and created a place of healing and relaxation, the thermal baths of Trajanoupolis. The famous springs of Trajanoupolis, which have hosted Emperors and Sultans, operate to this day with recognized thermal springs.
