Abstract
Context and purpose of the study – This paper presents is the create, the study and amplographic description the new seedless grape variety «Callinicos» was created by P. Zamanidis at the Athens Vine Department of the Institute of Olive and Subtropical Plants, with the hybridization method in 2012.

The variety is very strong with large shoots growth (2.1 – 3.0 m). The growth of shoots is higher over 95%. The shoots growth is strong. The bearing grapevine percentage is 90%. The average cluster weight is very big 900g. The yield is high more than 35-45 t / ha. A blossom bud has green color with yellowy-brown tones. The mature leaf is medium size, symmetrical, and five hard lobs it is divided weakly In same lobs has sort teeths. The flowers are hermaphrodite.
