Description
Polykala Distillery, established in 1897 on the island of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea, stands as one of Greece’s most venerable distilleries. Founded by Vassilis Polykalas, the company’s origins are rooted in ancestral recipes cherished and safeguarded for over 125 years.
Through four generations, the tradition of crafting exceptional spirits — liqueurs, syrups for cocktails, and syrups for coffee — has been faithfully continued. Today, Polykala Distillery is headquartered in Athens, Attica, with products available across the country.
Visitors step into the captivating history of the brand, spanning four generations since 1897, and gain insight into its rich heritage and evolution from Kefalonia to Athens.
