Favorite little village! Worths visiting the old distillery and tasting the local citrus liquor! Walk around the village afterwards!

We had such a blast on Naxos, and Chalkio was our favorite little town. The distillery was wonderfully interesting and we enjoyed hearing its history. The small tasting was great too, and we ended up taking some home! Great stop in your travels.
old kitron distillery, you can try the liquor, some historical photos, production facilities, background info, a shop where you can buy your favourite kitron or even ouzo.
Pretty nice old distillery which is producing local traditional drinks of Naxos island. The tour through the areas of the place as well as the informations provided regarding the equipments, their usage and the way the drinks are producing, is an interesting one. The visitor has the opportunity to buy and taste different varieties of the kitro drink.
Chalki might initially seem far for the casual traveler but it is a place that one must visit and one of the highlights for visiting it is the Kitro Distillery. It is a fully functional distillery where a very unique spirit is brewed made from the Kitro plant leaves. The place apart from a distillery operates as a mini museum where the visitor can observe some historic pieces of machinery and also as a store where one can actually buy the product. The spirit is strong but it is offered in three varieties based on the taste and alcoholic degrees. The bottles are so nice that you should definitely consider buying as a souvenir from Naxos.
Nice place to stop by if you are in Halki (Χαλκειο), but make sure to call and book a tour in advance, if it's even possible. We stopped by and asked about a tour and they just told us to look at the distillery rooms by ourselves. Stopped by again, and still no information about a tour. They might have just been too busy. Good liquor, all the same, and glad they are keeping the tradition alive!
Yummy! Informative to.
Characteristic! If you're visiting Chalki you can't miss it. The 120 years old distillery has a small museum and a shop in which you can buy the Kitron liqueur. There are three different type of liqueur, each one with a different color and alcoholic percentage. Free tastes are offered.
