Heraklion: Tsikoudia Distillery Tour with Tastings & Mezze｜Greece

Begin your half-day cultural food tour with a pickup from your hotel, villa, or port in the Heraklion area. Travel in a premium Mercedes Sprinter to a traditional village in the Heraklion countryside.

Visit a working tsikoudia distillery and meet the distiller. Learn how the kazani (copper still) works, hear the stories and traditions of kazani season, and enjoy guided tastings of different tsikoudia styles along with honey-raki (rakomelo).

Around the still, share authentic Cretan mezze, small plates of local cheese, olives, rusks, cured meats, and seasonal dishes, the way locals do it. Your local English-speaking guide translates the stories you will not hear on a bus tour.
