Xirosterni: Peroulakis Distillery
Description
The distillery can only be visited as part of a day tour from Chania. The tour is conducted by the distillery owner and talks about how the process has changed from his Grandfathers day through to his modern production techniques. The tour starts with a talk about how Raki is made in the traditional way - looking at a traditional still set-up that his father created, and is still used by locals for the production of their own Raki for their personal consumption. There is then a brief description of how Raki used to be made whilst looking at his grandfathers still, before moving into the modern distillery to look at how Raki is produced - albeit still on a relatively small scale. The tour ends with a tasting of both the traditionally distilled Raki and the modern product.
