  • 5A day to remember!🍋

    The Citron tasting experience was one of the highlights of my trip to Naxos. It was better than anticipated seeing the grove and learning about the Distillery. The tastings with food pairings were incredible, each delicious but most of all Sofia was SO much fun and her passion and love for her family business was lovely to be a part of! She made the day something to remember and cherish always!

  • 5Great guide, wonderful experience, and generous tasting samples.

    This tour was fantastic! It was led by the founder's great-granddaughter, Sophia, who is lively and makes the tour fun. Generous samples of Raki and Kitron, distilled on-site, along with snack pairings. You'll see a kitron grove and take a walk through the distillery and have a chance to purchase products. The distillery itself is small, so most of the time is spent sampling and learning about kitron and the company history. It was a home run. Location is a *little* hard to find. You may want to take a cab in case you have a little too much to drink.

  • 5Amazing experience! Must do on Naxos!

    This is a must do on Naxos!!! We wanted to do something authentic and special to Naxos and this was absolutely it. We were greeted by Sofia who has the warmest outgoing energy. You get a full thorough tour of the distillery, the orchard, and the entire process to make the Kitron. I learned so much! Now for the fun, the tasting! They are more than generous with how many different things you get to taste, while carefully pairing each drink with a cheese, or local snack that pairs perfectly. We had sooo much fun and would go back any day!! Will recommend to anyone going to Naxos.

  • 5Excellent tour with family

    We went as a 3 with our 10 year old and Sofia was brilliant - if you have children she was brilliant in engaging them into the experience. The tour was very informative and light hearted and the food and pairing was excellent. I have done lots of tours of vineyards and port houses and this was right up there. Yamas!

  • 5Incredible experience

    There is a good reason this tour is so highly reviewed - it is incredible. Sofia is a delight and I had so much fun - a definite highlight of my trip. There were only 3 of us on the tour so it felt very intimate. We got a little history of the place, shown the groves and the distillery, and I even got to bottle some citron. I did the wine and citron tour and there were so many drinks, and a lot of food - which I didn't expect. It was an absolute joy to spend time at Promponas distillery. We stayed for a long time after the tour and tasting was over, just to soak in the atmosphere and nibble on some treats - and we were bought more drinks! I went to the shop by the harbour later that evening to purchase some of the delicious drinks we sampled, and was given yet more drinks. Cannot recommend highly enough!

  • 5You must visit Prompondas!

    This experience was awesome. The family ran distillery was very hospitable and kind to share their history with us. We had experienced a tequila tour in Cabo a few years ago but this tour was unbelievable in comparison. I would recommend everyone to visit even if you do not drink.

About Naxos

Naxos, the largest of the Cyclades, mixes long sandy beaches, mountain villages, marble quarries and a Venetian old town.

Naxos Town, the island's capital, is a whitewashed port with a Venetian castle on the hill above and narrow lanes winding through its centre. Out on the harbour islet stands the Portara, a huge marble doorway, all that remains of an unfinished temple of Apollo begun in the sixth century BC. The island is greener than most of its neighbours, with fertile valleys, springs and the Cyclades' highest peak, Mount Zas.
