Naxos citron
 
 
 
 

Synopsis
It was in the 17th century that the cultivation of citrus trees was first introduced to Naxos. In 1896 Markos G. Vallindras founded the first distillery producing a liqueur made from citron tree leaves.

This unique family recipe used in the production of this fine liqueur has been a well kept secret and handed down from one generation to another.
On the premises of the neoclassical family establishment situated in Khalki village, the process of making citron liqueur continues unhindered and is why the distillery has become a tourist attraction. The distillation and the bottling process are definitely worth seeing.
