Santorini: The vines here are in the form of wreaths (stefani) so that the grapes which grow on the inside are not destroyed from the strong winds. White grape production reaches about 80% and there are about 1,200 hectares of both red and white varieties. The summers are warm and dry and the winters mild with few but strong rainfalls. The most interesting part about Santorini is its geomorphology. Most of the island's terrain is covered by deposits of volcanic material (resulting form the activity of its now dormant volcano) and its east side is an extensive, fertile plain.

Paros: As with Santorini, the strong winds have induced the grape growers to come up with a different training system. The vines here are left to crawl along the earth (aplotaries) and can reach up to four meters in length. The two most popular varieties are Mandilaria and Monemvasia (33% and 66% of production respectively). One can also find Savatiano and Vaftra on the neighboring island of Antiparos. Vaftra's pulp is colored and is used for adding color to reds. Paros has never been afflicted by phylloxera and received the appellation in 1981.

Limnos: The island has a gentle landscape with wide tracts of flat land with a highest peak of 430 meters. Its terrain is volcanic and the 1,000 hectares of vines include Limnio, also called Kalambaki, and Muscat of Alexandria which is more popular and is solely responsible for the appellation of origin, received in 1971.
