A chance to taste various kinds of citrus fruit and traditional Naxian marzipan, covered in smooth, dark chocolate,citron- flavoured "halvadopita" and dried citrus fruit. Naxian ouzo, a must for any lover of all things Greek, can also be enjoyed with olives, bread sticks,a different kind of "ntakos" and a wide variety of our own fruit preserves.For those with a taste for the traditional, local "Rakomelo" and citron-flavoured raki will also be served with Naxian figs and nuts.

Great fun and fabulous value!

Published on Oct, 2024

Hands down the best distillery experience I've ever had. Sophia's knowledge and experience of her family's business was great. She was very funny as well. There was no rush when the hour was up to leave. Our tour was at 10am and we left a 1pm. Everything was so so good (well Oozo isn't my favorite) and I left with a number of new finds in beverages and some of the snacks.

Citron Fun

This tour was a lot of fun! The rich history of the family business that is Citron was fascinating, and our host Sofia being an actual part of that family made it feel even more authentic. A really great time! Also recommend visiting their shop near the port!

A must do in Naxos!

I booked the wine and citron tasting for myself and a couple friends when we were in Naxos and it was a highlight for all of us! I like doing distillery & wine tours and this experience was one of my favourites. Our tour guide, Sophia, was fabulous and gave us so much information on her family’s business. The tastings were delicious, as were all the food pairings we were provided. All the staff we interacted with were warm and welcoming and really added to the experience. If I ever find myself in Naxos again, Promponas will be my first stop!
