The Spirit of Crete: How Tsikoudia is Made

Tsikoudia, or raki, is distilled during October and November, following the grape harvest. This spirit is deeply rooted in Cretan culture, representing a way of life that values hospitality and togetherness.

Made from grape pomace, tsikoudia is distilled using traditional methods passed down for generations. The end result is a strong, aromatic drink that’s a staple at every Cretan gathering.

Enjoy tsikoudia as part of your Veggera experience, and savor its warmth alongside other culinary delights.
