Great fun and fabulous value! - 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.

10/10 - 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!

Sofia showed us the ropes - Sofia gave us a tour of the distillery and bottling plant. She took us through the citrus orchard and described the collection of leaves and the subsequent distillation. We then sat down to taste the various products of the distillery and paired cheeses, breads, and olives. She's quite an entertainer and took an interest in each member of the group, making quite a fuss over the young children. Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent immersion in local traditions - We had a look at the distillery and the truth is that we had an amazing time even when we were with our two-year-old daughter, Sofia was lovely the explanation very enjoyable and the test of everything was fantastic.
Surely to know a country you must not miss your drink and food

Best tour on Naxos! - Sophia was an amazing representative to her family’s distillery. She was warm, gracious and knowledgeable about the business. She gave us a brief history about the distillery and its operations and she even showed us how to bottle our own Kitron as a take away gift. The food was delicious and the drinks were superb! Overall, a great day had by all. I would definitely recommend this to those visiting Naxos as this is the only island in Greece that has Kitron.
