Fun, engaging, and warm!
If you're looking for a memorable experience in Naxos, put this tour on your list. Sure, there may be other great tours on the island, but this one would be very hard to beat. We were given a wonderful behind-the-scenes look at this historic citron distillery, including the grounds, production areas, and the distillery itself. We even had the chance to get involved and try our hand at pressing citron the traditional way. Then came the highlight: a guided tasting of several citron varieties, liqueurs, and cocktails, all thoughtfully paired with an outstanding selection of local cheeses and charcuterie. And they certainly don't skimp on the portions. Everything was enjoyed on a shaded outdoor patio, with a gentle breeze, beautiful surroundings, and the aromas of the distillery in the air. As fantastic as the tour and tasting were, the true star of the experience was our hostess, Margariti Sofia. She manages the operation and represents the next generation of the family behind the distillery. Warm, witty, knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about what she does, she brings the entire experience to life. In an age where many tours can feel scripted, Sofia is refreshingly authentic, approachable, and full of energy. By the end of the visit, it felt less like a tour and more like being welcomed into someone's home and family tradition. I felt like I gained a sister, or maybe a daughter! I couldn't recommend this experience more highly. And while you're in Naxos, don't forget to stop by their shop in town as well.

A fun experience in Naxos
We went to the citron tour with our college aged children. Sophia was a wonderful guide. She gave us the history of the family business as well as guided us through the tastings as they were paired with “snacks” . She was kind enough to ask for allergies among the group as well and made accommodation for those with restrictions . She was witty, energetic, and passionate about the family business. We had a great time and definitely recommend for young adults and older.

Promponas Distillery Tour is a must for anyone visiting Naxos
My wife and I visited Promponas Distillery in September 2025, and it was the absolute highlight of our time in Naxos. We signed up for the Cocktail Masterclass, led by Sofia, a 4th-generation family member. She began by taking us into the fields to learn about the citron plant, followed by a fascinating tour of the distillery and bottling operations—where we even got to fill our own souvenir bottle. The real fun started with the tasting of their three citron varieties, followed by hands-on lessons in mixing three different citron-based cocktails. Sofia is full of life and made the entire experience engaging and memorable. Naxos is the only island in Greece that produces and sells citron liqueur, and visiting Promponas should be on everyone’s itinerary. In fact, while on a separate tour in Santorini, we recommended it to a honeymoon couple who was heading to Naxos next, and later they texted us to say how much they loved the class too. 10/10—an unforgettable experience and a must-visit!

Best day trip!
2nd time and it only gets better! We’ve brought 2 couples on separate trips and they both loved it. Sofia is the quintessential host and her enthusiasm is not to be missed. Oh, and the Kitron is wonderful! Planning to go again next year as this is a Naxos must do.

100/10 Cocktail Experience
This is a must do in Naxos. The way that Sofia shared her family and Kitpon history made you feel like you were a part of their family. The process of harvesting, making, and bottling the liqueur was amazing to see. Everyone was so nice and the entire tour was both fun and delicious. Sofia was a gem, and I can’t recommend doing this enough. She had us laughing, dancing, and learning! You will want to spend all day there sipping on Kitpon and enjoying your time there.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Naxos.
How much does Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass cost?
+
Prices start at $101 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Naxos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Naxos is not rushed.
Is Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Naxos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Naxos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Naxos and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Citron Tasting and Citron-Based Cocktail Masterclass start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Naxos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Naxos?
+
On Outty we rank every Naxos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Naxos:Half-day cooking class at Basiliko Farm, Naxos Perivoli Farm Experience & Wood-fire Cooking Class, Naxos Kayak Tour to Rina Cave with Snorkeling and Homemade lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Naxos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Naxos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
