Description
Karonis Distillery is located in the Agia Paraskevi district of Nafplion, on the road to the Palamidi Fortress and just two minutes from the town centre. It is a family business that has been in operation over the last 145 years and is now run by Fotis and Yiannis Karonis from the 4th and 5th generation.
The company produces ouzo, tsipouro, and mastiha (an alcoholic beverage based on Chios mastic resin), all distilled in modern copper stills as well as a distinguished cherry extract (cherry liqueur) made with cherries from the Arcadia region.
