Unexpected sight while touring wineries

The last post we did about something we unexpectedly found while touring a winery was in 2012, and it was for finding a temple to Herakles. I suppose in retrospect that should have been so surprise since all of Greece is simply one archaeological site waiting to be unearthed, and plowing fields for a vineyard was bound to lead to the discovery of something.

On the first miss for Aivalis Winery, we had to drive a ways before we could turn around.  This wasn't so hard to find amidst the vineyards.

  Wait, are those satellite dishes and "golf ball" satellite antennae?  And grape vines everywhere else?  Why yes!  

  A Satellite Communications Center in Nemea.  Just what I'd thought.  I will note that this is a private satellite communication facility--OTE Group is a Norwegian firm--so that still doesn't explain the English on the sign.
